The Appalachian Impact Fund blends capacity building grantmaking with creative investment capital to advance opportunity in Eastern Kentucky. We offer general operating support grants, creative capital solutions and technical assistance to community-led organizations, social enterprises, and projects that accelerate economic transition and support building community capacity.
We think about the overall community economic development ecosystem in the region and layer our grants and social impact investments accordingly while engaging other funding and investing partners for greater collective impact.
