Dear Friends,
We are extremely grateful to those of you who have entrusted the Community Foundation for the Ohio
Valley to steward your philanthropic gifts. Our funds do amazing work in our communities and this annual
report reveals exactly that.
While most people in the community know CFOV for its annual Unrestricted Grants Program – now
called the Community Impact Fund, the other 154 funds of the Foundation work on a slightly quieter
scale. Through these generous gifts, the CFOV was able to make more than $1.1 million in grants and
scholarships to the Ohio Valley this year.
Our Women’s Giving Circle continues to grow in members. As of this writing, there are now 94 women
committed to working together to give and to grant to improve life for women and girls in the region. This
past October, the Women’s Giving Circle received a “Spirit of Philanthropy” Award from West Virginia
Grantmakers in the category of Critical Impact. This group is quickly becoming a model for philanthropy
in the region.
The CFOV worked with the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation to incorporate the Arts into Science,
Technology, and Math classrooms throughout our service area this past year. Fourteen schools benefited
from these grants that raised the level of creativity in classrooms helping students learn core curriculums
in new and exciting ways. In some instances, the students didn’t even realize they were learning math or
science through these innovative programs. We are fortunate to be able to continue that work for another
year as our partnership with the Benedum Foundation continues.
We are also working to capture new wealth in the region from Marcellus Shale and turn it into philanthropy
through new funds at the CFOV. There has been some activity among land owners who want to “pay it
forward” and give back in the form of scholarships and donor advised funds. It is our hope that we can
educate more land owners as well as gas and oil companies on the importance of providing philanthropic
support to the region where this work is taking place – and where it is so desperately needed.
The Foundation grew in more ways than just assets this year. Upon the close of the fiscal year, CFOV has
now merged with the Community Foundation of Jefferson County. We now are proud to be able to serve
the people of Jefferson County. We will be working closely with the former board of trustees of the CFJC
and their donors to continue their work toward building philanthropy in the area.
We want to take this time to thank you for your continued support of the Community Foundation for the
Ohio Valley. We look forward to another great year of giving back.

Because we are a nonprofit, gifts to a community foundation are tax-deductible as allowed by law . Donors with funds at community foundations pay

than opening a bank account. The Foundation takes care of all administrative
and grantmaking activities, eliminating the need for you to set up a separate

a memorial to someone special. Every grant from each fund will carry its
precious time and money. You may even gain significant tax benefits.
Community foundations usually have something called a spending policy. This is a policy that sets instructions for distribution of earnings from our
investments. Ours is 4%, which is fairly typical in our field and which means we want to distribute on behalf of our donors an amount equal to 4% of the value of
their endowment fund on an annual basis. We also take into account the average value of the fund over the last 12 quarters, which helps to even out any peaks and
valleys in the market. Our funds are professionally managed by advisors who report to our Investment Committee.
Some may wonder how we meet our expenses. Community foundations generally pay their bills by charging funds an administrative fee. For funds of $1 million
or less, our fee is 1% of the value of the fund. For funds $1 million to $5 million, the fee is .75%. Funds over $5 million are charged .5% administrative fee. Again, this

we encourage smaller funds in an effort to help the community as much as possible. The minimum amount to open a fund at CFOV is $10,000,
while other, larger community foundations have six figure minimums. Some community foundations serve a single county or even a single city. Ours serves Brooke,
Ohio, Marshall, Wetzel and Tyler counties in West Virginia and Belmont and Jefferson counties in Ohio.
Community Foundations are independent – there is no national organization. Many community foundations, including ours, belong to
a national association called the Council on Foundations. The Council on Foundations provides a voluntary standard of accountability for community
foundations. This has been achieved by the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley. This peer-reviewed accreditation confirms that our policies and procedures
are in keeping with the highest professional standards of our field.

partner for legal and financial advisors working with charitably inclined clients. We answer questions and
provide guidance to help your clients define and reach their charitable giving goals.

Because we are a community foundation, we are uniquely positioned to offer prospective donors a

Philathropy can be made easy. Here are six simple steps:
»»Discuss your overall philanthropic goals with your family members and legal or tax advisors.
»»Decide how much you can afford to give.
»»Determine the causes/organizations that will use your donations to meet the goals you support.
»»Meet with foundation staff to discuss your plan.
»»Ask questions, explore the different gift vehicles.

Throughout this past school year, the STEAM grants have provided thousands of students the opportunity to explore
the art and science of creating pottery, paper, glass, etchings, clay caricatures, and vibrations. In some schools this
was the only art the students participated in all year.
For a second year, the CFOV has the opportunity to again administer funding to 15 schools in Marshall and Ohio

WILLLIAMS FUND
1991
Frances “Pinkie” Williams was a long-time
member of the CFOV Board of Trustees. She and
her husband, John, established the Williams Fund,
a Field of Interest Fund to support children.
Specifically the fund is for fulfilling the basic needs
of children in the Wheeling area in the nature of
emergency food and clothing assistance and other
basic needs that will permit a better opportunity
for these children to grow and become educated.
1991
WHEELING-NISSHIN FUND
Wheeling Nisshin, Inc. of Follansbee established the Wheeling Nisshin Fund at the
CFOV to administer the company’s charitable giving. As a Corporate Donor Advised
Fund, grants are made annually to Brooke County Schools and other causes important
to the company. After a tsunami hit Japan in March 2011, the Wheeling Nisshin Fund
made a $50,000 grant to the American Red Cross to support Tsunami relief efforts.
2002
MATT VELEZ SAVE-A-LIFE FUND
The Matt Velez Save-A-Life Fund was established
by Matt’s mother, Mary Velez, in 2002 when
he suffered cardiac arrest during a high school
physical education class and died six days later. This
fund helps schools and nonprofit organizations to
purchase Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs)
to help save the lives of others.
In the last ten years, the fund has provided for more
than 100 AEDs in local schools and other public
places in the Northern Panhandle and surrounding
areas. There have been five “saves” in the Ohio
Valley where the fund was somehow involved by
either purchasing the AED, providing assistance to set up the AED Program, or
an update on the unit.
WHEELING MIDDLE SCHOOL
BOOSTER CLUB FUND
1995
The Wheeling Middle School Booster Club Fund was
established by Betty June Wymer, mother of two
students of Wheeling Middle School. The funds were
raised from 25 years of Bingo for the benefit of the
school. The fund distributes income on an annual basis
for academic, athletic, and cultural programs for the
benefit of the students. The fund is used for such
things as band uniforms, wrestling uniforms, Future
City competitions, Forensics competitions, and more.

Elizabeth Elbin was a dedicated teacher for many
years at Cameron Elementary School. She had an
undergraduate degree from Oberlin College and a
Master's Degree in Education from the University
of Pittsburgh. Following college, she returned home,
dedicating her career to the people and the children
of Cameron. She sought out gifted children and
helped to give them opportunities. She was a very
optimistic and accepting person who loved teaching
as much as she loved the people of Cameron.
When she passed away in 2004, she left a large
portion of her estate to the Community Foundation
for the benefit of worthy and deserving graduates of Cameron High School. Each
year, four students are chosen to receive her scholarship in the amount of $1,250
per year, renewable for a maximum of $5,000.

ROBERT W. SCHRAMM WEST LIBERTY SCIENCE FAIR FUND
2007
Dr. Robert Schramm is a retired professor at West
Liberty University. He believes that encouraging
children to appreciate science at an early age is
critical. Dr. Schramm established the Robert W.
Schramm West Liberty Science Fair Fund in 2007 to
annually support the Science Fair held each spring
at West Liberty University for students in grades
6 - 12. Students from Hancock, Brooke, Ohio,
Marshall, Tyler and Wetzel counties in West Virginia
and Belmont and Jefferson counties in Ohio are
eligible to participate in the West Liberty Science
Fair. Dr. Melinda Kreisberg, Ph.D., of West Liberty
University said, “Science fairs are an excellent
way to not only explore a question creatively, but to also develop critical thinking,
presentation, and design skills that are essential to success in every field of study.”

Homan Gift Reminder of Founders
In the early 1970s, an enterprising group of individuals worked together to create the Community
Foundation for the Ohio Valley. Mr. William Homan was one of those men. A trust officer at
the former Wheeling Dollar Bank, Mr. Homan was a founding board member of the Community
Foundation for the Ohio Valley. Mr. Homan passed away in 2011. A gift from his estate to the
CFOV will be used to create a “Founders Fund.”
