Faith in Action of the Greater Kanawha Valley
THE MISSION of Faith in Action of the Greater Kanawha Valley is to support the independent living of older adults in the communities we serve by lending a helping hand,
neighbor to neighbor.
Welcome to our (new) home!
Growth itself contains the germ of happiness. ~ Pearl S. Buck
Faith in Action of the Greater Kanawha Valley recently made a pretty big move into our very first *real* office. After 5 1/2 years working out of our Executive Diretor's home, the organization had finally reached a point of growth where the move was no longer just a wish, but a necessity. 

The move readies us for additional capacity building, more service opportunities, greater efficiencies, and deeper productivity. We are positioned for long term sustainability, and we couldn't be more excited.

To celebrate this milestone, we are hosting an Open House and extending this invitation to you - as supporters, encouragers, participants, and friends - to join us for the occasion.

Our new physical address is 1710 Pennsylvania Ave., Charleston. (Our mailing address hasn't changed.) We hope you can find a few minutes Thursday evening, February 13th, between 4-7 pm to stop in, say hello, and check out our brand new work space. We look forward to welcoming you!

Have questions? Email Jennifer or call 304.881.7253.

"I would highly recommend FIAGKV to anyone who may be
considering volunteer work. The system allows you to
pick and choose jobs on the days and hours that fit your schedule,
and the flexibility to volunteer as much or as little as time allows."

NIP Credits Still Available

Sounds great...but...
what exactly *are* NIP Credits?!
Faith in Action of the Greater Kanawha Valley still has a limited number of NIP credits available. After two years of distributing 100% of our allocation in a very short amount of time, our organization was granted double the amount of credits for this fiscal year. These credits MUST BE DISTRIBUTED - in full - by March 31st or our program risks losing them.

So...what exactly *are* NIP credits?

THE NEIGHBORHOOD INVESTMENT PROGRAM (NIP) allows non-profits to attract donors by offering businesses and individuals a state tax credit. Businesses and individuals who contribute to organizations are eligible to receive up to 50% of the contributed amount in the form of WV state tax credits. Donors may use the credits to reduce liability for the following West Virginia taxes: Corporate Net Income Tax, and/or Personal Income Tax.

The allowable credits can be used over a five year period. For example, if you have $500 in NIP Credits, you can use $150 this year, $100 next year, and $250 in 2022 to offset your WV State Tax liability. NIP credits are currently the only tax credit vouchers available to reduce your West Virginia State tax bill.

If you are interested in securing NIP tax credits, please contact our office today by sending an email to Jennifer@faithinactiongkv.com or by calling us at 304-881-7253 and we will make do our best to make sure you can take advantage of this singular opportunity to reduce your WV State Tax liability while supporting a wonderful cause.
