| Purpose |
The Appalachian Community Fund (ACF) was founded in 1987 to bring new resources and provide grants to groups for community organizing and social change in the central region of Appalachia (East Tennessee, Eastern Kentucky, Southwest Virginia, and all of West Virginia). Grants are given to community-based organizations that address underlying causes of economic and social distress in the region.
The General Fund was established to create a responsive and flexible fund for grassroots groups' work. Funds may be used for specific projects and for operational support. |
| Eligibility |
Applicant organizations must have 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status or a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor in order to receive funding, and must be based in the Appalachian counties of Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, or West Virginia (the fund uses the Appalachian Regional Commission designation for Appalachian counties in these states). If an applicant organization is based outside the region, the proposal must include a specific work plan for the Appalachian portion of the work. |
