Backing Builders. Igniting Change.
Up to $5,000
We fund young Appalachian doers — covering tuition, training, tools, even interview shoes. With partners across TN and KY, we multiply every dollar’s impact.
We fund doers: students with talent, initiative, and vision. Grants from $500 to $5,000 cover what they truly need —tuition, training, tools, even shoes for a job interview.
We leverage partnerships with schools, mentors, and programs across Tennessee and Kentucky to multiply the impact of every dollar.
When we invest in a student, the ripple effect reaches entire communities.
Take Khloe — a gifted 15-year-old vocalist from rural Tennessee. With support from Genesis Generation, she trained with a top Broadway coach and was invited to perform in a live Disney showcase—something she never imagined possible.
“Without Appalachia Sessions and Genesis Generation, Khloe never would’ve had the confidence to take these steps—or the opportunity. This changed her life—and it changed how our whole town sees what’s possible.”
— Tanja Snodgrass, Khloe’s grandmother
