At the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley (CFOV), we believe that everyone can be a philanthropist. From individuals and families to corporations and civic organizations, we can help anyone set up a fund to carry out their charitable goals in the community.

To help demystify the process of starting a fund, we created a Guide to Giving. This guide provides detailed information about fund types, fund administration, ways to give to a fund, and much more. You can view and download an electronic version of the Guide to Giving below. You also can pick up a hard copy at our office or send a request for copies to our Director of Donor Services Liz Paulhus at liz@cfov.org.

Working with the CFOV is a personalized process. If you are interested in creating a fund with us, email or call Liz at 304-905-6084 to schedule an appointment to start the conversation. We are here to help find the best giving strategy to fulfill your philanthropic aims.
