WHAT WE DO
As a foundation, we participate in a variety of local causes, including service on county boards and committees related to Conservation, Tourism, Historic Preservation, Workforce Housing, and Education. We also regularly engage with both regional Chambers of Commerce and the Transylvania Economic Alliance.
Through an offshoot organization, the Business Alliance of Upper Transylvania (BAUT), we support local businesses with a free weekly digital publication, the Red Feather Guide; a free seasonal print Visitor Guide; and social media and PR efforts, negotiated advertising discounts, and more.
YOUR DONATION MATTERS
Our donors’ gracious support to date has allowed us to:
— Establish the Historic Toxaway brand, resulting in broader visibility and opportunities for our area
— Commission a private small area plan that identified several key properties for potential development within our footprint, one of which is currently being planned as a proposed ‘town center’
— Curate a robust historical resource via blogs, social media, and image and video libraries
— Bolster our local businesses with free or low-cost marketing tactics to offset their out-of-pocket costs
