In 2023, the Nelsonville Community Foundation awarded 15 grants, totaling more than $23,000, to organizations serving the Nelsonville area.
This year, the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation will partner with the Nelsonville Community Foundation to award grants that benefit Nelsonville and surrounding communities.
