Ways to Support 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. Join West Virginia's Grassroots Historic Preservation Movement

Join the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia (PAWV) - a growing statewide network committed to strengthening communities through grassroots advocacy, civic engagement, and collective action. Together, members amplify local voices, build meaningful partnerships, and create lasting change across the state. Become part of the movement to advance the saving and preserving of beloved landmarks across the Mountain State.
​

Members of PAWV enjoy benefits! All members will receive member-exclusive advocacy alerts and an invitation to PAWV's annual member meeting where members vote for the PAWV Board of Directors.

You can enroll or re-enroll your Kroger Plus Card in the Kroger Community Rewards Program. This program contributes a percentage of each purchase to the non-profit of your choice. 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.

5. 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.
