About Ozark Vitality

OUR MISSION

Our mission at Ozark Vitality is building partnerships to create a better place to live, work and play in The Ozarks. We are a non-profit resource for community and economic development.

We believe the key to creating sustainable economic growth and prosperity for any of these small communities is regional collaboration, partnering with community leaders, businesses, grant-makers and government to improve The Ozarks as a region. Our projects focus on creative place-making: using the power of art, culture and creativity to ignite positive change and spur economic growth.

Ozark Vitality is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in 2015.

The region we support

The Ozark Plateau is a geographical region prized for its ecological diversity and beautiful landscapes. The region is known for its rugged terrain, oak-hickory-pine forests and cedar glades, clear meandering rivers and streams, and Karst topography with springs, caves and sinkholes. So exactly where are the boundaries of The Ozarks? Along the edges, The Ozarks begin to blend into the surrounding regions, so it isn’t always clear. What’s exciting about the edges, though, is that it is where the greatest diversity exists. This is not just true of The Ozarks, but anywhere that two or more ecoregions come together. If a community in or near the Ozark Plateau self-identifies as being part of The Ozarks, we would agree!

If you are interested in participating in our projects, contributing ideas, or have any questions, please email us or message us on Facebook.

Note: We are increasingly mobile as we expand our service area and have closed our Doniphan, Missouri office. Let us know if you have a team or organization that would like to meet with us. We are happy to arrange a meeting by Zoom. We also regularly make trips across the region to meet in person with people with a shared interest in supporting The Ozarks.
