Our vision is flourishing people and flourishing communities – a deep sense of well-being for all who call our region home, today and in perpetuity.

We partner with donors and doers – our community of givers – to turn charitable giving into lasting investment for our communities and to create opportunities for our people. Our investments improve health, create educational opportunities, advance economic development and environmental stewardship, and provide access to new arts and cultural experiences.

The Hocking County Community Fund (HCCF), one of our 15 affiliate foundation partners, was established in 2019 to provide a way for anyone with a heart for Hocking County to give in support of its people and communities. In its first five years, HCCF and FAO awarded $1.6 million in grants, fellowships and scholarships all aimed at making Hocking County a place people want to call home and visit.

Behind every dollar invested and opportunity created are visionary donors who share our commitment to our communities.
