Donor Advised Funds

Fidelity Charitable (DAFs) are a widely utilized vehicle for charitable giving. They allow donors to contribute to the fund, potentially qualifying for an immediate income tax deduction, while maintaining the ability to recommend grants from the fund to charitable organizations at their discretion.

The West Virginia Resource Center is deeply appreciative of grants received through Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs). If you have a DAF with a community foundation, Jewish Federation, or another provider, you can support WVRC by recommending a grant. Simply designate the West Virginia Resource Center (EIN #92-3412191) as the recipient through your fund’s standard grant recommendation process. Our mailing address is 7376 County Road 15, Chesapeake, Ohio 45619-8018.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 28.8% of Huntington, West Virginia's population lives below the poverty line.  Statewide, West Virginia has a poverty rate of 17.10%, making it one of the states with the highest poverty rates in the nation.

Specific data on the percentage of children living below the federal poverty level in Huntington and the surrounding region is not readily available from the provided sources. For the most accurate and current statistics on child poverty rates in these areas, I recommend consulting the U.S. Census Bureau's official website or contacting local government agencies.
