Our Stories
Our Community's Foundation is the sum of its stories, with the heartfelt concern of local citizens in each fund. Irene and Bert Conaway of Harrisville recently held their annual Scholars Luncheon at North Bend State Park. They encourage "their" students to do their best and their "family" grows with each recipient. Learn about Irene and Bert's scholarships and explore other stories in our Family Album of Funds at My Story/Our Stories.
In the News
Parkersburg Area Community Foundation (PACF) and Regional Affiliates of Doddridge, Jackson, Mason and Ritchie Counties and the Little Kanawha Area – collectively known as “Our Community’s Foundation” – was recently honored with a 2009 “Effies Award” for Community Leadership. PACF and the Affiliates represent six distinct organizations through which “local people help local people.” The Foundation’s full service region covers ten West Virginia counties and one in Ohio throughout which it works with local citizens to build community capacity to meet essential needs and develop permanent community grantmaking funds.
Effies™ are national awards for effective philanthropic practice and are a project of the Effective Communities LLC featured on its www.justphilanthropy.org website funded by the Ford Foundation. “This national award puts the Mid-Ohio Valley on the map as a place where many people are working hard and giving back so that our communities can look forward to a more promising future. Our Board is thrilled to share this wonderful news! We thank those generous citizens who support Our Community’s Foundation, the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation (PACF) and its Regional Affiliates. This national award is a clear tribute to their support and great recognition of the teamwork of generations of caring citizens to build PACF and the Regional Affiliates,” said Jim Crews, Board Chairman.
