| The Parkersburg Area Community Foundation and Regional Affiliates (PACF) of Doddridge County, Ritchie County, and the Little Kanawha Area is currently accepting applications for grants for the fall cycle of its Community Action Grants Program. The Foundation's application deadline is midnight on September 15. Organizations apply to PACF and/or any of the affiliates through one online application form, the Foundation's Community Action Grant Application.

To be considered for a Community Action Grant, an applicant must be a nonprofit organization, tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a public institution. Either the applicant or program to be funded must be located in the Foundation's eleven-county geographic service area (Calhoun, Doddridge, Gilmer, Jackson, Mason, Pleasants, Ritchie, Roane, Wirt counties in West Virginia, and Washington County, Ohio). Priority counties for Foundation grant support are: Calhoun, Doddridge, Gilmer, Ritchie, Roane, Wirt, and Wood counties.
The Foundation provides support for capital and equipment projects, program development, technical assistance, training, and capacity building projects, and, under special circumstances, operating support. Submitted applications are considered for support from a wide variety of grant funds available through the Foundation to support charitable projects throughout the region.
The Foundation recently made two important changes to its grantmaking program:
The maximum grant request size has been raised to $15,000.
The allowable grant period is 12 months; proposed projects must be completed within a 12-month timeframe.
