Backroads of Appalachia Development Pass-Through Fund
The Backroads of Appalachia Pass-Through Fund supports Backroads’ mission to drive economic revitalization in Appalachia through adventure tourism, heritage preservation, and small-business development. Backroads works to connect visitors to the region’s scenic byways, outdoor recreation assets, local artisans, and historic communities, creating sustainable tourism opportunities that generate jobs and income in rural West Virginia. The pass-through fund provides a streamlined vehicle for grants and charitable contributions that directly advance these efforts, enabling project development, marketing, community partnerships, and on-the-ground initiatives that strengthen local economies while celebrating the unique culture and landscape of Appalachia.
