Connecting donors to projects that speak to their hearts.

FAO’s Cause Connector makes it easier than ever to support the causes and communities closest to your heart. And with every gift you make, you are helping to meet the greatest needs and unleash the incredible potential within the communities of Appalachian Ohio.

Although the second round of Cause Connector closed on April 8th, an angel funder offered a challenge that if $31,052.50 was raised by Friday, April 15th at 6pm, they would also give an additional $31,052.50 to support great projects across Appalachian Ohio. Thanks to generous donors, we met this challenge and are now distributing this funding to projects!

Cause Connector was designed to showcase the work of Appalachian Ohio’s nonprofits with projects that will launch a new effort, scale a program, or serve more people who call our region home. The second round of Cause Connector ended on April 8, 2022.  We are currently making final updates to the site to reflect the results of our second round. In the meantime, visit the Funded Projects page to see the good work underway because of the support of many Cause Connector donors.
