About the Baker Education and Economic Development Fund

John and Lois Baker established the Baker Education and Economic Development Fund in 2007 to support the needs and opportunities of Monroe County, including those that increase quality of life, create access to opportunities and/or implement a solution to a community need.

The fund joined the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio in 2020 and is part of the Monroe County Community Foundation’s family of funds.
