West Virginia Tax Credits Available
West Virginia state tax credits are now available for donations of $500 or more to the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley.  Individuals and businesses can take advantage of this opportunity.  These credits are made available through the West Virginia Neighborhood Investment Program (NIP), with the intention of increasing charitable giving throughout the state.  These credits are given in support of donations directed toward organizations supporting and improving critical needs in our area.  This is a great program that truly benefits all involved and is a unique way to support change through philanthropy.

Donors seeking tax credits may give to a donor advised fund of CFOV or the Women's Giving Circle.
