The Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that believes in consistently and intentionally shifting control back into the hands of local leaders. By supporting communities, growing assets, and strengthening leadership, we are rising where we’re rooted. We support communities. We bring together people, ideas, and resources to build communities and encourage philanthropy. Our approach is to meet communities where they are instead of telling them where they should be. Because, at the end of the day, we believe that investing in the people rooted in communities is the way to make them better. We grow assets. We bring together people, ideas, and resources to build. We connect investors with local people and programs working toward lasting, positive change. We are reshaping grantmaking strategy in the region by creating conditions for businesses and programs to succeed. We pursue relationships with startups and organizations that celebrate Appalachian culture.
