WIREGRASS FOUNDATION

Dothan alumni cohort - the dothan alumni cohort exists to leverage the outside experience of young professionals who are from the dothan area to address issues and challenges of wiregrass area nonprofits using their fresh ideas and perspectives.

Cultural arts initiative - the initiative began in 2018 and focused on the state of the cultural arts in the wiregrass. This initiative brings together the major constituent groups conducting arts programming in the region as well as representation from the city of dothan, which owns the two primary arts venues. The core team continues to work with nationally recognized consultants to determine if a progressive and sustainable collaboration around the arts is possible for the region. This initiative has merged with public/private investors to create a more expansive outcome around economic development in the downtown area. Wiregrass foundation has committed to provide a portion of the capital/programming support along with local city, public/private support. The initiative is currently in the process of finalizing plans and investments.
