The Foundation identifies grantees that best satisfy the donor’s intent MGC Fund $ 32,468 Benefits programs that address the physical, educational, cultural and/or recreational needs of pre-teen children Williams Family Fund $ 37,612 Benefits programs that meet the basic needs of children to assist in their growth and education caring FISCAL SPONSORSHIP RELATIONSHIPS Occasionally, a charitable purpose is undertaken by a group of individuals who do not qualify for tax-exempt status. If we are satisfied that the charitable purpose is secure and will serve the greater good, the Community Foundation may agree to accept donations on behalf of the effort, thus allowing donors to benefit from the tax deductible nature of the gift. The Foundation works in concert with the group to ensure that funds are expended for the stated charitable purpose. This year, the Community Foundation established one such relationship: Wheeling Skate Park Fund $ 66,629 The provision of fiscal sponsorship is a community service that the Community Foundation provides when it has identified a worthwhile community effort to address a recognized community need. The Community Foundation is proud to be associated with the Wheeling Skate Park project and looks forward to its completion. Northern Panhandle Long-Term Flood/Disaster Recovery Fund $ 91,525 Created to handle a tremendous outpouring of community support following the devastating floods of late 2004/early 2005, this fund also accepted a $200,000 grant from the Benedum Foundation as well as the proceeds raised from the Brad Paisley benefit concert “Mud in the Valley.” giving The West Virginia Independence Hall Foundation received a grant of $5,000 from the Community Foundation to assist in developing a Civil War Battle Flag Exhibit at West Virginia Independence Hall in Wheeling. The project required approximately $500,000 for completion. A total of 13 State of West Virginia Civil War battle flags will be preserved and mounted for public display. Two galleries will be designed to display the flags and educate visitors. The first West Virginia State Historian, Virgil A. Lewis, said, “The most sacred relics that any state can possess are its battle flags.” Said Mrs. Bettie Steele, of the Flag Fund Committee, “The grant from the Community Foundation was the first external funding that we received and, without it, we would never have been able to move forward as quickly and as successfully as we did in our fundraising campaign. Thank you, Community Foundation!”
