Central Federal Credit Union’s Day of Giving Grant

The WV Central Federal Credit Union's Day of Giving grant opportunity is managed through the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation (PACF), an established community philanthropy organization serving the Mid-Ohio Valley. PACF oversees various charitable programs and initiatives intended to strengthen communities in the region. This specific funding opportunity is part of the organization’s broader grantmaking and initiatives portfolio, with the support of WV Central Federal Credit Union, which partners with PACF to direct resources into local nonprofit efforts. The program reflects a regional philanthropic commitment to supporting underserved populations and enhancing the quality of life across eligible counties. The Day of Giving grant is aimed at supporting nonprofit programs and services that align with several community priority areas. Applications will be accepted from 501(c)(3) organizations serving the counties of Jackson, Pleasants, Ritchie, Wirt, or Wood in West Virginia, and Washington County in Ohio. Projects funded by this grant must fall within one or more of the following purposes: Financial Education and Youth Programs, initiatives supporting Teachers, Community and Cultural Development efforts, Senior and Veterans Programs, and projects addressing Food Insecurity. These categories reflect a commitment to educational empowerment, community resilience, social equity, and alleviating basic needs among vulnerable populations. Applicants must submit their proposals through the PACF’s online grants portal, which provides streamlined access to current opportunities, submission tracking, and historical application review. The application window for this grant opens on June 1 and closes on August 30. No pre-application deadlines or early-stage concept submissions are mentioned, so applicants should focus on completing their full application by the stated deadline. There are no mentions of application questions or evaluation rubrics in the public materials, so applicants are encouraged to directly review the application form upon opening it in the portal. The grant is not recurring on a publicly stated basis, nor is it described as being offered on a rolling basis, so it is considered a one-time funding opportunity unless otherwise stated in future updates. Applicants should note that the program is highly localized, restricted to a specific geographic footprint in West Virginia and Ohio, and only accessible to verified 501(c)(3) nonprofit entities. Organizations outside these regions or operating under other tax classifications are not eligible. No specific information was provided regarding the amount of funding available, the number of awards to be made, or whether a matching contribution is required. These details may become available through direct inquiry or upon entering the application portal. Similarly, the funding usage rules, award ranges, and evaluation criteria were not disclosed, indicating the need for potential applicants to seek additional guidance directly from PACF.
