Welcome to Your Community Foundation of North Central West Virginia, Inc. YCF’s mission is to promote philanthropy and build endowment funds to benefit our communities. What is a Community Foundation?

By definition, a community foundation, like YCF, is a tax-exempt, non-profit, autonomous, publicly-supported, non-sectarian philanthropic composed primarily of permanent, named, component funds established by many separate donors for the long-term benefit of the residents of a defined geographic area, typically no larger than a state. YCF is such a public charity created by and for the people of North-Central West Virginia.

We enable local people with philanthropic interests to easily and effectively support the issues they care about — immediately, or through their will. Our donors can establish a charitable fund at YCF by contributing a variety of assets, and may also recommend grants — in their name, if they choose — to nonprofit groups they want to support.
