Appalachian Impact Fund launches grant for Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Social Enterprises

Posted on 6 months ago

The Appalachian Impact Fund and the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky in partnership with CEDIK and Invest 606 are making direct grants generally up to $10,000 to businesses, nonprofits, and social enterprises that have experienced damage and/or shutdowns from flooding in the primary counties of Breathitt, Clay, Floyd, Knott, Perry, and Pike. Organizations in adjacent counties of Bell, Harlan, Jackson, Johnson, Knox, Laurel, Lee, Magoffin, Martin, Owsley, and Wolfe may also be considered depending on availability of funds.

This is made possible through the Appalachian Crisis Aid Fund, an established fund at the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky to respond directly to disasters that unravel the fabric of communities in Appalachian Kentucky.
