Reclaiming the power of community for Appalachian Kentucky begins with investing in the people rooted there. We believe in consistently and intentionally shifting control back into the hands of local leaders. 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 are more than a traditional community foundation. The Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky brings together people, ideas, and resources to build communities and encourage philanthropy. We believe in consistently and intentionally shifting control back into the hands of local leaders.
