About the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio

The Foundation for Appalachian Ohio is a regional community foundation serving Appalachian Ohio’s 32 counties with the mission to create opportunities for Appalachian Ohio’s citizens and communities by inspiring and supporting philanthropy.

Since 1998, the Foundation has been working with donors who are passionate about Appalachian Ohio, its communities, and its future. The Foundation helps donors give back in ways that are meaningful – to them and to our region.

The Foundation helps donors give back to the charitable causes they care about, work together to accomplish a shared vision, and better understand the needs of the region.

By partnering with the Foundation, Vision: Shadyside is able to make the most of every dollar raised to elevate the Shadyside community.
