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 and receive the following benefits:
  • Invitations and discounted entry into special events, tours, and lectures featuring preservation experts
  • Quarterly newsletters highlighting the impact of your support and the latest developments in historic preservation efforts across the state
  • Gifts celebrating West Virginia’s rich history

Please note that when checking out using Zeffy, the platform automatically adds a percentage donation to Zeffy for using its service: "Support the 100% free platform we use! ❤️️" If you do not wish to donate to Zeffy, please select "Other" from the drop down menu and enter "0" as a "contribution."

2. Donate 

 Donate to PAWV through PayPal Giving Fund - a fee-free service. All donations are tax-deductible on your federal income taxes, and you will receive a receipt directly from the PayPal Giving Fund Foundation for your donation.

4. Shopping at Kroger

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.

6. Volunteer your Time
