Stories of Philanthropy

Honoring Appalachian Ohio's Own

Because storytelling is a time-honored tradition in Appalachian Ohio, the annual Philanthropy Day celebration focuses on the stories of residents making a difference in their communities. These honorees are featured in the “Stories of Philanthropy” commemorative booklet given to all luncheon attendees each year.

The event is cooperatively hosted by the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, the Muskingum County Community Foundation, the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation of Nelsonville, the Schooler Family Foundation, OSU Extension, the Athens Foundation and the Ohio Grantmakers Forum.
