Description
The Vinton County Community Fund (VCCF), in partnership with the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO), awards annual grants for projects and programs benefiting Vinton County residents and communities. Gifts to the fund’s endowment are invested, and earnings are returned to the county through grants to nonprofits, schools and public organizations.
The program advances opportunities across five “Pillars of Prosperity”: arts and culture, community and economic development, education, environmental stewardship, and health and human services. Its emphasis is on supporting people of all ages who are spearheading projects that create opportunities, meet pressing needs and unleash the county’s potential. The fund is led by local leaders working to enhance residents’ quality of life today and for future generations.
