AACF and FAO’s I’m a Child of Appalachia® Fund, with support from the AEP Foundation, will award grants to projects or programs benefitting African American communities across five areas essential to generating and sustaining transformative change: Arts & Culture; Community & Economic Development; Education; Environmental Stewardship; and Health & Human Services. Projects should increase quality of life, create access to opportunities or implement a solution to a need. The Fund will serve as a vehicle to address disparities in the African American community and help to improve the physical, economic, and structural conditions that affect quality of life.
