At Black Forest Strategies, our mission is simple: Secure resources. Strengthen communities.

Now, we’re taking that mission one step further — and we’d love your support.
We’re expanding into a brick-and-mortar office on Main Street in Austin, Pennsylvania, a space designed to serve as a community resource hub for grant support, workshops, and collaboration.

This isn’t just about growth — it’s about creating opportunity in rural communities.

💚 Why It Matters

Across rural America, great ideas often go unfunded.  We’re changing that. Your support helps us provide the expertise, tools, and training that local nonprofits, small businesses, and community organizations need to bring meaningful projects to life.

Every dollar raised helps us:

Renovate and open our Main Street office

Offer affordable grant writing and consulting to rural communities

Host workshops and mentorship sessions

Equip local leaders with the resources to build lasting change

🌲 Join Our IFundWomen Campaign

We’ve launched our IFundWomen crowdfunding campaign to help make this vision a reality. By contributing, you’re directly investing in rural revitalization and helping create a permanent space where collaboration and progress can thrive.
