Flooding has impacted so many of our neighbors over the summer. Happy to elevate the things our members do to care for our communities.

The Market on Main raised around $13,000, while the Boone Memorial Hospital matched that number.

Dolly Parton humbly and joyously gave her time, talents and her resources to the world. She gave Appalachians space to dream and bask in the love she held for our mountains and valleys.

Sharing this post to highlight her impact on West Virginia's children--just one of many places she invested in future generations through early literacy. Dolly Parton embodied the spirit of philanthropy and leaves a legacy beyond measure.

Thanks to our members in the North-Central region of West Virginia who met for a Regional Roundtable in Marion County Thursday! We covered a wide range of topics including the upcoming Philanthropy West Virginia conference, flood recovery and what's happening with our members in the region.

We are grateful for Brett White, Christina Matlick and Patty Showers Ryan for helping to get us organized and hosting!

Fortunately, we managed to snap a photo as we dispersed from the meeting. Unfortunately, we missed a couple folks, our apologies to them! Some of our members participating yesterday are shown from left to right: Lori Maynard, Rachael Coen, Jennifer Goddard, Christina Matlick, Laura Boone and Patty Showers Ryan.
