The Athens County Foundation (ACF) is grounded in a simple approach: invest in community strengths, build meaningful relationships, learn together, and align efforts to create greater impact across Athens County.
Strengths+Strengths (S+S) grew from this approach. S+S supports local social sector leaders and administrators, people we lovingly call "changemakers," by strengthening connections, sharing tools, expanding capacity through learning, and building a strong system of support for those serving the community.
ACF recognizes that our community already holds deep strengths. Through S+S, we build on and expand those strengths, helping people and organizations do more, together.
