Our Mission

The Athens Area Community Foundation helps grow giving by inspiring generous communities and creating lasting impact. We are focused on helping donors create legacies that grow.

Our Vision

We envision a community where philanthropy fuels progress, supporting civic engagement, a vibrant economy, a nimble workforce, effective education, workforce housing, accessible healthcare, efficient transportation, supportive services for our most vulnerable, strong cultural amenities, environmental sustainability, and emergency response.

Our Values

Our values guide everything we do. In every situation, with every interaction, and at every point of service, we aim to GIVE:
  • Grow in knowledge
  • Integrity in all things
  • Value responsiveness
  • Engage in community
Together, these values spark something powerful: allowing us to GIVE with joy.
