The Parkersburg Area Community Foundation serves the people of the Mid-Ohio

Jackson (JCCF), Mason (MCCF)
and Ritchie (RCCF) Counties, and the
Little Kanawha Area Community Foundation
(LKACF, serving Calhoun and Wirt Counties). The Foundation is a non-profit
public charity created in 1963 that works in partnership with its supporters
to meet area needs, today and far into the future.
