Produce events and year-round programs that connect and grow communities of recovery in Appalachia, raising funds and awareness to combat opioid addiction and support prevention, recovery housing, wellness, music therapy, and recovery-to-work initiatives.
A 2024 grant of $30,000 to East Greenbrier Middle School in Lewisburg, West Virginia, shows how Hope in the Hills Incorporated Healing Appalachia extends addiction-recovery support into community settings, including youth-serving institutions. The foundation’s giving is built around prevention, recovery, wellness, harm reduction, housing, and recovery-to-work initiatives across Appalachia, with a heavy emphasis on central Appalachia. Its program structure includes an annual Organization Grant Request, Recovery Housing Scholarships, and an Apply for Assistance portal for recovery programs. Recent grants also include $24,217 to the Center for Human Engagement in Huntington and $20,000 to Wayne County Housing Inc in Wayne, both in West Virginia, pointing to a pattern of direct support for local recovery infrastructure. The foundation’s stated mission centers on year-round programs that connect and grow communities of recovery while raising funds and awareness to combat opioid addiction. Its beneficiary base includes people with substance use disorders, individuals in recovery, and the families and support networks around them. The current profile shows active support for certified recovery homes, recovery service providers, and community partners working in Appalachia and beyond.
In recovery housing, the foundation’s scholarships pay entry costs for individuals in early recovery by sending funds directly to certified recovery homes. That structure ties the grant to housing stability rather than to the individual recipient. Its prevention work includes support for East Greenbrier Middle School in Lewisburg, West Virginia, with a $30,000 grant marked for addiction recovery. The grant list also shows support for community-based recovery infrastructure, such as $15,000 to Fayetteville County Health in Fayetteville, West Virginia. The foundation also funds wellness and recovery support through organizations such as West Virginia Healing Home in Ronceverte, which received $10,000. Music-linked recovery programming appears in the list through Musicians In Recovery in Dallas, Texas, which also received $10,000.
Typical grant sizes cluster in the low five figures, with a p25 of $10,000, a median of $11,600, and a p75 of $16,250. The 2024 list shows a mix of larger grants at $30,000 and $24,217 alongside many awards at $10,000 to $15,000. The foundation appears to give recurring operating-style support to recovery nonprofits, schools, and community organizations rather than one-off project-only awards. Its active programs include an annual Organization Grant Request, Recovery Housing Scholarships, and an Apply for Assistance portal, and all three accept unsolicited applications or requests through partner channels. The foundation is a grantmaking nonprofit rather than an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments.
