Fund The Climb Foundation

A heartfelt thank you to Rock City’s Dream Center for?allowing us to join?them and participate in?providing food to unhoused individuals in our community! We’re grateful for the opportunity to share valuable information about treatment and support services with those who need it most. Events like these are what allow us to make a real difference!

Asking for help can be scary, especially for those wondering where they will lay their head each night, and when their next meal will be. These barriers can cloud the journey, making it even harder to see the brighter days ahead. But when we remove these?obstacles, a ray of hope shines through, illuminating the way to recovery. Many patients?in our community?don’t have the resources to navigate this path alone.?With your support, we can meet them where they are, give them hope,?and help them see the?joy of a life in recovery. #FundTheClimb #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #TreatmentWorks #StrongerTogether #MentalHealth #SubstanceUseDisorder #RecoverySupport

"Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So... get on your way!" - Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You’ll Go! ?? With the proper support, we can help patients begin THE CLIMB of their lives. Together, we'll navigate every challenge, reach new heights, and recognize every step along the way. #NewBeginnings #OhThePlacesYoullGo #NewHeights #Recovery #Inspiration #RecoveryIsPossible

We are deeply grateful for all the support we’ve received, whether through community engagement and partnerships or generous donations from those who support our mission. Those seeking treatment for the brain disease of addiction deserve the chance to transform their lives. However, many patients face barriers that make the climb to recovery seem out of reach. It is our mission to remove these barriers by providing support for the basic and essential needs that simply have not been met for patients. Thanks to our housing partners and donors, 633 patients were provided with a safe place to stay while in treatment through our Peaceful Living United + Sober housing program.. Those same patients were also given transportation to receive treatment through our Uplift transportation program, and 192 bus passes were purchased to help patients without alternative means of travel to get to treatment. Additionally, 367 food bags and 404 personal hygiene bags were distributed to patients who have limited access to these essentials. The growth we experienced in 2024 is just the beginning, and we are committed to continuing this momentum throughout 2025! #FundTheClimb #Nonprofit #DoGood #Impact

This Black History Month, we honor the past, we celebrate the present, and we work to empower the future. We proudly recognize and spotlight the contributions of Black individuals throughout history.

We were honored to be invited to the Franklin County Forensic Science Center for the opportunity to tour this incredible facility. Our team was blown away by the cutting-edge technology and state of the art facility used to do some of the most difficult work on behalf of our community.? Thank you to Jeremy Blake and Vanessa Gay for taking the time to meet with us. We deeply admire your dedication and look forward to future collaborations, promoting our shared mission to support the quality of life for all of those living in our great city.

In 2023, about 1 in every 6 Americans age 12 and older battled a substance use disorder. Whether directly or through a loved one, we all know someone facing this struggle. At Fund the Climb Foundation, we invite people to come together to support our community members through recovery. No one should have to fight alone. Together, we can create a future where the mountain peak of recovery is within reach for all. ?#EndTheStigma #SupportRecovery #BreakingBarriers #CommunityStrength
