Our Story
The Weedman Family Charitable Giving Fund was born from a deep and abiding love for Ohio County, Kentucky — a place that shaped the Weedman family and gave them so much over the years.
Recognizing the incredible potential of the people and organizations working tirelessly in their community, the family established the fund to provide meaningful financial support to local non-profits making a real difference in the lives of Ohio County residents.
What began as a personal commitment to give back has grown into a structured charitable effort — one that carefully evaluates grant applications and directs resources toward organizations aligned with the fund's four core pillars: Family Stability, Educational Excellence, Economic Vitality, and Cultural Enrichment.
