Summary
This grant program operates across a multi‑county region in West Virginia. It supports nonprofit organizations, charitable groups, volunteer coalitions, and in some cases individuals with community‑driven projects that aim to improve life locally.
There are several kinds of grants. One is a general grant for nonprofits or similar charitable programs. Projects requesting more than $5,000 will need to include more detailed tracking and reporting, though there’s no upper limit stated on what can be requested. Another kind is an emergency grant, for groups facing urgent, unexpected financial need; those are smaller, capped at $500. There is also a giving stream for nonprofits, especially those whose work enhances life skills for women or children.
Each year, more than 50 grants are awarded (in a recent year, 65 grants were issued) totaling in the ballpark of $150,000‑$160,000 distributed across all grant types. The aim is to fuel local innovation, address urgent community needs, and uplift underserved populations.
The application period for the general and the giving grants tends to happen once annually, with deadlines later in the year (around September) and awards announced around mid‑November. Emergency grants can be requested at any time when need arises.
Funds may be used for a variety of purposes: program support, capacity building, urgent operational needs, or projects that strengthen local well‑being—especially for women, children, or vulnerable groups.
Organizations and individuals based in West Virginia who are engaged in Children & Childcare may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
