Ideal Applicant
A registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in or serving the foundation's target West Virginia counties with health-focused programming (food security, senior nutrition, recovery/behavioral health) and capacity to meet reporting requirements.
Good Fit
- • Provides direct health or nutrition services to residents of Barbour, Lewis, Randolph, Upshur, or Webster counties
- • Is a tax-exempt public charity (IRS 501(c)(3))
- • Requests project-scale funding in the typical $1k–$25k range
- • Can accept and complete interim and final grant reports tied to measurable outcomes
- • Has or can secure local partnerships or referrals that would attract the foundation's attention
Geography
All observed grants in the available years were directed to West Virginia recipients, and filings state focus on five specific counties in the Buckhannon region.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 11 distinct organizations in the latest year (14 in the earlier observed year), showing a moderate spread of independent grantees even though a handful of recipients receive a large share of dollars.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows seven new recipients in the latest year, but the foundation's stated requirement that grants come from a preselected pool indicates a curated/selection-driven process rather than an open public intake.
