Established in 1972, the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley (CFOV) works to build a permanent endowment to meet the current and future needs of the Upper Ohio Valley region. Assets of the foundation are nearly $80 million among 270+ individual charitable funds. CFOV annually awards more than $4 million into the community through grants and scholarships as a result of the generosity of many donors. The service area of the foundation includes Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, Wetzel and Tyler counties in West Virginia and Belmont and Jefferson Counties in Ohio.
