About GWA

Inspiring Leaders and good stewards of tomorrow’s greater Appalachia communities to grow and live well together.

GWA Focus

This forward-thinking, Legacy Minded organization is committed to building a more sustainable and connected community. Through research, focus, vision, and problem solving, we aim to provide solutions through research and resource partners that want to do their best work, helping families within the community to take care of what means most to them.

Join GWA in being good stewards, to grow well in Appalachia, together.

Projects

GWA is passionate about supporting those that are ready for change and willing to solve complex issues through project development. 


Life challenges provide opportunities for us to either maintain the life we think we want, or inspires us to rise above what often plagues our everyday living.  GWA gets inspired by projects that align with our soul purpose, and gets us out of our chairs, into the community to put solutions into action.   


See what moves us!

There is a lot that happens around the world we cannot control. We cannot stop earthquakes, we cannot prevent droughts, and we cannot prevent all conflict, but when we know where the hungry, the homeless and the sick exist, then we can help.
