Giving platform raises money for local projects
Staff Report
NELSONVILLE Earlier this year, the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO) launched a new innovation in lifting up the good work of nonprofits across Appalachian Ohio’s communities.
According to a news release from FAO, Cause Connector was designed by the organization to give donors an opportunity to connect with and support the work of Appalachian Ohio’s nonprofits through projects that will launch new efforts, scale a program, or serve more people who call the region home.
At the close of Cause Connector’s first round on April 9, 2021, 88 projects across Appalachian Ohio’s 32 counties received funding to advance their efforts through a total of more than $245,000 raised. The generosity of donors giving amounts of all sizes and combining their gifts through Cause Connector is what has made these efforts possible.
