Mission and programs · 2024

• IN A REGION WHERE THERE ARE FAR FEWER PHILANTHROPIC RESOURCES AVAILABLE THAN IN THE REST OF THE STATE, FAO HAS PARTNERED WITH COMMUNITIES TO HELP THEM BUILD LOCALLY-FOCUSED ENDOWMENT AND RESOURCES TO REINVEST IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. LED BY LOCAL ON THE GROUND VOLUNTEERS, THESE COMMUNITY FUNDS ARE CREATING GRANTMAKING DOLLARS WHERE THEY HAVEN'T EXISTED BEFORE AND ARE CREATING NEW PATHS FOR CURRENT AND FORMER RESIDENTS TO GIVE BACK. WITH FAO'S SUPPORT AND PARTNERSHIP, THESE FUNDS HAVE DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED OUTREACH STRATEGIES, HAVE BEEN FUNDRAISING, AND MANY HAVE EMBARKED ON THEIR FIRST GRANTMAKING INITIATIVES ACROSS THEIR COMMUNITIES.

  Expenses $1,700,110 · Revenue $1,561,011

• THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, FAO'S FUNDS AWARD GRANTS THROUGH COMPETITIVE GRANT PROGRAMS AS WELL AS THROUGH STRATEGIC RECOMMENDATIONS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMITTEES AND DONOR SERVICES. GRANT DOLLARS MAKE INVESTMENTS ACROSS MANY FIELDS OF INTEREST, INCLUDING ARTS AND CULTURE, COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATION, ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP, AND HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. FAO'S GRANT FUNDS SUPPORT INITIATIVES BASED IN NONPROFITS, SCHOOLS, AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS.

  Expenses $5,856,840 · Grants $5,856,840

• IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DONORS WHO HAVE CREATED FUNDS TO CELEBRATE AND MEMORIALIZE LOVED ONES WITH THE GIFT OF EDUCATION, FAO AWARDED 664 SCHOLARSHIPS IN 2024. THESE SCHOLARSHIPS SERVE TO INSPIRE APPALACHIAN OHIO'S STUDENTS TO PURSUE POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION AND TO CONTRIBUTE TO REDUCING FINANCIAL BARRIERS THAT MIGHT STAND IN STUDENTS' WAY AS THEY CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION.

  Expenses $739,786 · Grants $739,786

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
