Rising Where We're Rooted
Über uns
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 and grow local economies. Capital meant to drive positive impact in local communities should stay in those communities. We Strengthen Leadership We motivate and develop community leaders, and eliminate barriers to growth. We use our network and voice to inspire support for persistent problems within communities. By sharing experience and expertise, we provide a platform for communities to speak for themselves. We celebrate the culture of Appalachia by helping people rooted in communities grow opportunities and economies.

Mary Breckinridge’s Wendover, located in Leslie County, KY, is a peaceful sanctuary on the banks of the Middle Fork River. Built in 1925, Mary Brekinridge’s historic home holds memories of her influential work in family healthcare. In the 40+ years that she lived at Wendover, she made a difference in Leslie County that has lived on since her passing in 1965. Today, this national historic landmark has 6 hostel rooms and a cabin-style rental for visitors to stay in. The Wendover Preservation Council also hosts heritage classes, holiday activities, and more. The Council “hope[s] to inspire those who visit to support and work to bring about change in their communities through sharing and teamwork. In this way, the work of Mary Breckinridge continues.” To learn more about this historic location, visit https://lnkd.in/ec7BaHTd To donate to the Wendover Preservation Fund, visit https://lnkd.in/ejdVFjM4
