Thanks to the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley, 11 Ohio Valley nonprofit organizations are getting a financial boost to continue the good work they do in the community.

Those organizations shared in more than $70,000 in Community Impact Grants that the CFOV distributed this week. Organizations earning those grants included the Belmont County Court of Common Pleas Juvenile Division Probation Department, CASA for Children, Catholic Charities West Virginia, Childrens Home of Wheeling, Inc., City of Steubenville Parks and Recreation, Hancock and Brooke Young Professionals, Laughlin Community Center, Ohio Valley Youth Network, the Upper Ohio Valley Sexual Assault Help Center, WVU Foundation, Inc., and Youth Services System, Inc.

The projects these groups have put together are focused on improving physical and mental health, supporting youth and families, developing future leaders, expanding recreation opportunities, and strengthening economic and social stability throughout the region.

It is wonderful to have an organization like the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley, which recruits generous donors to help important groups around the valley continue their missions of improving the community around them. CFOV’s kindness and hard work directly enhances the kindness and hard work of other local institutions.
