Our Funding
Appalachian Impact Fund
The Appalachian Impact Fund’s mission is to advance opportunities in the region that support economic opportunity and build community capacity. They envision a day when Eastern Kentucky is a place of unique thriving local economies that enhance the existing natural and cultural assets of the region and offer economic opportunity for all people while keeping ownership, assets and wealth rooted in local communities.
Appalachian Innovation Investment Fund
The Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky, in collaboration with partners Shaping Our Appalachian Region (SOAR) and the Appalachian Investors Alliance, launched the Appalachian Innovation Investment Fund. This initiative received a $680,000 grant from the US Economic Development Administration, marking a significant step forward in supporting the region’s emerging entrepreneurial ecosystem. The grant will provide the technical assistance necessary to establish and operate a professionalized, member-managed angel fund in Southeast Kentucky. With an initial capital infusion of $1 million in private investment funds and the potential to leverage an additional $4 million in private investment capital, this project is poised to drive economic growth and empower local entrepreneurs.
