The Maier Foundation is a Charleston, WV-based nonprofit that has supported scholarships at WVSOM since 2015, contributing to the school’s endowment resources and to direct scholarship funds. Those investments reflect the mission to strengthen higher education in West Virginia that has guided the foundation for generations.

The Maier Foundation’s roots trace back to William J. Maier Jr., a Harvard Law School graduate and philanthropist whose belief in the power of education still shapes the organization’s priorities today. Maier’s grandson, Brad Rowe, represents the organization’s third generation of leadership. As its president and CEO, Rowe said about 95% of the foundation’s funding goes toward higher education.

Charitable Remainder Trusts

A Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) can help some donors balance charitable giving with income planning.

With a CRT, assets are transferred to an irrevocable trust that provides payments to you or other beneficiaries for life or for a term of years. After that period, the remaining assets support a charitable organization.

A CRT may provide income, help manage taxes on appreciated assets, and create a significant charitable impact. Because CRTs are complex, professional legal and tax guidance is essential. Contact us to start a conversation with your advisors about whether this strategy may fit your goals.
