Give to PAWV

The Preservation Alliance of West Virginia (PAWV) has been your statewide advocate for historic preservation in our Mountain State since 1982. As a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization, PAWV relies on donations to provide its services. 

You can support PAWV in many different ways such as purchasing gifts, buying groceries, or giving a tax-deductible donation. Check out these options below, and thank you for supporting PAWV!​

1. Become a Member
As a dues-supported organization, your annual membership makes a  meaningful contribution to ensuring the long-term success of the Alliance. Members of the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia typically meet once a year during an annual meeting in September. Due to covid-19, we cannot meet in person, but we are trying to meet more frequently virtually and provide a monthly e-newsletter to our members, as well as periodic mailings to your home or business.

It’s easy to enroll and once you have enrolled you don’t need to do anything besides re-enroll every year and use your card every time you shop at Kroger. Learn more at https://www.pawv.org/kroger-community-rewards.html.

6. Leave a Planned Gift

Planned giving, or deferred giving, is a charitable gift made through estate planning.  Examples of planned giving include:
  • Bequests;
  • Beneficiary Designations;
  • Life Income Gifts;
  • Charitable Gift Annuities;
  • Gifts of Appreciated Assets;
  • Charitable Lead Trusts; or
  • Life Insurance.

If you already have a will, your attorney can simply add a codicil, or addendum to it. An attorney can help establish a plan that protects your family and also benefits PAWV. Learn more at ​https://www.pawv.org/planned-gifts.html.
