When philanthropy partners, communities prosper and this quarterly webinar will highlight work underway in West Virginia among funders to address multiple challenges and opportunities.   This is especially true for rural communities of all sizes, types, and shapes.   

As board members, CEOs, staff, donors, and advisors of foundations and corporate giving, grantmaking and giving has a greater impact when you have partners to fund worthy programs and partners in your communities.
