we believe
everyone has something to contribute
What if we simply asked “what if” more often, to more people?
What would we learn? What ideas would that spark? What could we do?
get to know us
At ACF, we face the future of Athens County with fearless optimism and courageous hope. We invest our resources where there is the greatest opportunity to advance the county. We rally support for promising ideas and future community leaders. We share what we learn and listen to what others have to say. We make introductions and convene conversations.
We do a lot of things in the spirit of our mission, but we never do it alone.
We operate with the radical idea that Athens County is capable of solving tough problems, together. Our promise is to blend ACF’s strengths with the strengths of others to pursue change in the county. So, we endeavor to create space for big thinking and bold ideas, and to ensure that every voice is heard in the conversation – especially those voices that have been marginalized.
If you’re often the person in the room who says “hey, what if…” then you get it. (And, you should probably connect with us.)
The best answers are the product of great questions.
