Communities of Practice

A dedicated space for collaboration and knowledge-sharing among our members who work in or support financial, CDFIs, CDEs, and impact investment organizations in Central Appalachia.

Connecting funders who see creative practice as essential to social, economic, and environmental well-being.

To provide a trusted, generative space for philanthropic CEOs to reflect, learn, and lead together — strengthening both individual leadership and collective strategy for a more equitable and resilient Appalachia.

Developed for communications professionals, this community fosters shared learning, strategy alignment, and storytelling practices that elevate regional voices and build public trust in philanthropy's role.

Designed for funders navigating a rapidly shifting landscape, this community explores trust-based philanthropy, mutual aid models, and community-driven decision-making — approaches rooted in relationships, flexibility, and shared care.
