History
As West Virginia’s leading voice and premiere resource for philanthropy, WVGA is committed to helping its members fulfill their charitable goals.  It does so by providing opportunities for trustees and staff to network, build skills, enhance knowledge and demonstrate leadership.  WVGA is the forum for funders to exchange information, discuss common interests, learn about relevant issues, hone their grantmaking skills and establish networks of important relationships across the state.  Through its programs and services, WVGA helps funders become more efficient, effective grantmakers.

WVGA members include private and family foundations, community foundations, corporate foundations and giving programs, health funders and other types of grantmakers. WVGA also works to build and maintain relationships with other key stakeholders in the field, including media outlets and public policy makers among others. 

We are one of 31 associations across the nation that works to promote philanthropy. Each of our associations works very closely with one another to ensure our members have the best available resources from coast to coast.
