Kentucky-headquartered coal miner Ramaco Resources is focusing on philanthropy for the support of coal communities with its new charitable organization, the Ramaco Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The group, which will invest in the regions where its employees work in West Virginia, Virginia and Wyoming through grant-making and partnerships with nonprofits in the respective areas, will be headed by Evan Jenkins, president of the Ramaco Foundation and a member of its board of directors; Randall Atkins, chairman and CEO of Ramaco and chairman of the foundation’s board; Patrick Graney III, founder and president of PCG in West Virginia; and Debra Wendtland, a prominent Sheridan, Wyo.-based attorney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of its launch, the foundation has awarded grants worth $100,000 to organizations fighting childhood hunger in Wyoming, and supporting education and workforce development in West Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe regions where our staff and their families live are the backbone of this country, and deserve far, far more investment and attention than they receive,\u201d said Atkins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foundation’s activities will be focused on southern West Virginia, southwestern Virginia, and Sheridan County, Wyo. Its first major donations are $50,000 grants to The Food Group Wyoming and Jobs for West Virginia\u2019s Graduates. Both organizations received $25,000 in 2022 and another $25,000 will be coming in 2023 for operating funds, program development and other identified needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Ramaco Foundation is dedicated to building meaningful philanthropic relationships in these regions, and strengthening the local social and economic fabric,\u201d said Jenkins. \u201cThe organizations receiving these grants are results-driven and have proven records of success, and we look forward to partnering with them and expanding their very valuable work.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
