That's today's Appalachian Wireless. During the Floyd County Chamber of Commerce's monthly networking meeting Tuesday, guest speaker Tanya Shepard spoke to the group about the benefits of a community foundation. Shepard represents the Foundation for Appalachian, Kentucky. The main purpose for a community foundation is to serve the needs and philanthropic aims of people in the community. Foundation for Appalachian, Kentucky was established in 2009 as the Hazard Perry County Community Foundation and has since evolved into the Foundation for Appalachian, Kentucky. It has since branched into five counties, Clinton, Jackson, Leslie, Perry and now Floyd. We can't come in and do the work for you, but if you want to be involved and want to have a community foundation or be an affiliate, you can contact us and we can give you the tools that your community needs to set that up. It builds a brand of philanthropy and giving and how to make grants and get grants and overall just leverage money to make an impact in the community that people want. While the foundation has been established for nearly eight years, it's fairly new to Floyd County. Associate Executive Director Kristin Collins says the foundation has been a good asset for Eastern Kentucky. We leverage money that comes into the community through grants and through the power money and all these initiatives that are coming in and we leverage that using local money and local interests and local investments to make the project stronger, more sustainable and more community driven. People don't like being told what to do and how to spend their money, but if it comes from the inside and people want this and want to work for it, it makes the projects overall more successful and more long-lasting.
