MARTINSBURG — Thirty years ago, a group of determined community leaders gathered around a simple but powerful idea: if people worked together to build an endowment for their region, they could strengthen their communities not just for today, but for generations to come.

From those humble beginnings in 1995, the Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation (EWVCF) was born. This year, the Foundation is celebrating three decades of impact, with plans to honor its past and highlight its future throughout the coming year.

“It’s awesome that anyone can participate in a community foundation,” said Elaine Bobo, Donor Relations and Communications Director for the organization. “A gift will honor someone’s legacy and help the community at the same time.”
