Rowan County

The Rowan County Community Fund is a permanent charitable resource that supports local causes and organizations.  

A local advisory board puts donations of all sizes to good use by making grants to meet the needs and vision of the community. They partner with individuals, businesses and nonprofits to make Rowan County a better place to live, learn, work and play. 

Because of generous community support, the Rowan County Community Fund has helped bring meaningful projects to life, including:

• Granted $2,500 to CASA of Gateway
• Supported the activities room at the Senior Citizen’s Center
• Sparked the launch of fundraising for the Rowan County Park (Harry T. Clark Park) by committing $12,500 and are still leading the way for others to help make this park a reality
• Provided 45 ChromeBooks for Rowan County students to assist with virtual learning
• Secured the funding to complete the Rowan County Farmers Market Pavilion
• Granted to Morehead Gateway Helping Hands & Rowan County Historical Society
• Collaborated and supported Neighbors Helping Neighbors to help with food insecurity
• Annual support of local organizations participating in Bluegrass Gives
• and so much more!

Each project reflects a shared commitment to making Rowan County stronger, more vibrant, and more connected.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Give what you can.

It doesn’t take one person giving a million dollars—it takes a community that believes in where they live.

That belief is what fuels the Rowan County Community Fund. Together, we’re building something lasting: a permanent resource dedicated to supporting the people, places, and possibilities that make Rowan County home.

We accept a wide range of assets, providing you the ultimate flexibility in charitable giving. 

Help is give to Rowan County today, tomorrow, and forever.

Your donation may be eligible for a tax credit! Learn more about the Endow Kentucky Tax Credit.
