Appalachia Partnership, Inc.

We are a non-profit organization of CEOs representing businesses across Ohio’s 32 Appalachian-designated counties. Our mission is to increase the prosperity of our citizens and businesses by deploying robust economic development strategies.

We accomplish our vision by deploying three strategies: 1) Advocate for our businesses and communities to attract new resources; 2) Attract and provide loan capital to small and mid-size businesses in the Region; and, 3) Increase available building inventory so our businesses and workers can stay in the Region.

Appalachian Partnership, Inc. serves as the corporate parent of Appalachian Growth Capital, a U.S. Treasury designated CDFI that lends capital to small businesses, and Appalachian Development LLC, a company that works to ensure our region has the readily available building inventory necessary to support continued economic growth.
