The Sugar Bush Foundation (SBF) is a supporting organization of The Ohio University Foundation, funding collaborations between Ohio University and local communities that are jointly designed and based on equal partnerships. Building on the assets of the region to improve the quality of life and environment in Southeastern Ohio, SBF prioritizes environmental restoration, strengthening local food systems, and growing a vibrant economy. The Sugar Bush Foundation will be accepting Letters of Inquiry in November of 2023 for new projects.

On August 25 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at 29 Park Place in Athens, Ohio, the SBF board will be hosting a networking event for anyone from university or community who would like to explore if their project might be a fit for Sugar Bush Foundation funding. This is not a formal pitch event, just a conversation where attendees can ask questions about project ideas. Please RSVP to  sugarbushfoundation@ohio.edu .
