Give to support Red River Gorge Community Foundation on GivingTuesday!
About Red River Gorge Community Foundation:
The Red River Gorge Community Foundation (RRGCF) is an affiliate of the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky serving Estill, Lee, Menifee, Powell, and Wolfe counties.
Established in 2024, RRGCF is working to become a hub for connecting monetary and other resources to local causes and initiatives. RRGCF hopes to meet immediate community needs through awarding grants and building connections. An endowed fund will anchor the community foundation’s support of projects.
To create a better life for every Red River Gorge resident, the foundation focuses on these pillars— supporting local organizations, businesses, and initiatives, and providing a local crisis fund for disaster response.
Recognizing that issues like lack of affordable housing, transportation, emergency services, childcare, and other basic amenities require collaboration, RRGCF seeks to create partnerships in service to the community and to play a role in growing charitable causes. Through the endowment and community partnerships, RRGCF will become a vehicle for moving money through the region, and be prepared to mobilize resources in times of disaster.
Their Mission:
The Red River Gorge Community Foundation was established to provide leadership for the formation of a permanent community endowment fund that will support local philanthropic goals in Estill, Lee, Menifee, Powell, and Wolfe counties now and years into the future.
