What will my gift make possible?
The I’m a Child of Appalachia Fund is dedicated to unleashing the potential of the children of Appalachia. Giving FAO the resources needed to address the areas of greatest need and opportunity in the region, the I’m a Child of Appalachia Fund supports:- FAO’s work to build local capacity by nurturing local community foundations and connecting partners around issue of regional importance;
- Programmatic initiatives and grant programs creating opportunities across our 32 counties in Arts and Culture, Community and Economic Development, Education, Environmental Stewardship, and Health & Human Services; and
- FAO’s work to encourage high expectations among all the region’s residents, including FAO’s I’m a Child of Appalachia campaign.
With so many initiatives already underway, imagine what we could do with millions in matching funds dedicated to visionary and strategic programs today and far into the future.
Permanent, flexible, and region-wide grantmaking dollars, making an impact both today and tomorrow, are essential to FAO's mission of creating an abundance of opportunity throughout the region's communities.
