Share your story or event with Athens County Foundation.

We invite community partners to submit events and stories that highlight collaboration, connection, and belonging across Athens County. If your work brings people together or shows what becomes possible when we pull up a chair, we’d love to hear from you.

Newsletter Content Guidelines

For Community Partners Submitting Events and Stories

Athens County Foundation welcomes event listings and stories from community partners that reflect collaboration, participation, and belonging across Athens County. These guidelines help ensure submissions are clear, timely, and aligned with our shared values.

What We’re Looking For

We prioritize content that:

• Highlights collaboration between organizations, residents, or sectors
• Shows how people are invited to participate or feel a sense of belonging
• Centers community impact rather than promotion
• Reflects shared leadership and partnership

Think: Who pulled up a chair? Who was invited in? What changed because people worked together?

Submission Timing

• Events: Submit at least 2–3 weeks before the event date
• Stories: Submit at least 3 weeks before the intended newsletter issue

Early submissions increase the likelihood of inclusion.

Nonprofit Newsletters are sent bi-monthly January, March, May, July, September, and November
