FAO’s annual report celebrates the impact of donors and doers committed to a Flourishing Appalachian Ohio
NELSONVILLE, Ohio – The Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO) has released its 2025 Annual Report, celebrating the impact of donors and doers committed to a Flourishing Appalachian Ohio and featuring our 2025 impact map.

Every symbol on this map tells a story:
• Of barriers being removed and new opportunities being created in communities that previously lacked philanthropic resources.
• Of youth being empowered to dream bigger.
• Of emerging leaders choosing to build their lives and careers in Appalachian Ohio while strengthening our communities.
• Of hope growing across our region.
Together, these symbols reflect the power of a community of givers committed to the well-being of the people and communities of Appalachian Ohio.
We invite you to explore our 2025 Annual Report and to join us in celebrating the generous donors, dedicated volunteers, nonprofit partners and community leaders who are the driving force behind our shared vision: flourishing people and flourishing communities, today and in perpetuity.
