About The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation

As the largest community foundation in Central Appalachia, we award over $13 million in grants and scholarships annually. The Foundation was created in 1962 by and for the people of the Greater Kanawha Valley area. This area encompasses the following six-county region: Kanawha, Putnam, Boone, Clay, Lincoln, and Fayette. The Foundation is here to help individuals, families, businesses, and nonprofits improve the lives within the community now and for generations to come. We assist donors in creating charitable funds, each with its own philanthropic purpose, and provide grants to nonprofits that meet the needs of the community. The Mission of The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation is to make thoughtful and proactive investments that grow the multiple forms of wealth necessary for our community to thrive. These forms of wealth include the individual, intellectual, social, cultural, political, natural, built, and financial assets within our community.
