About Philanthropy West Virginia

By attending the programs offered by Philanthropy WV, I have become a more effective grantmaker. I’ve also built a network of colleagues and friends throughout WV, and beyond, who care about and want to improve our state and who I can turn to for advice and collaboration. “

Associate Director, Sister's Health Foundation
