Support the work
Your contribution helps us keep vital information and resources accessible to Appalachian communities.
Why your support matters
Support helps us keep practical information, educational resources, and public tools accessible to Appalachian communities. Contributions can help cover the real costs of research, website resources, downloadable materials, printing, event and seminar supplies, accessibility needs, travel, recording and preservation work, and community programs. As support grows, it also gives us more ability to reinvest in the people, places, knowledge, and local partnerships that make this work possible.
The goal is not simply to grow an organization. It is to build sustainable work that can continue serving Appalachian communities without placing every cost on the people trying to do the work or the people who need the resources.

Financial and in-kind support helps fund research, field documentation, preservation work, and the creation of free educational resources for Appalachian communities.
