Description
The Stealey Community Fund supports educational, religious, and community organizations and programs benefiting residents of Middlebourne, West Virginia. The Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley (CFOV) administers the fund with advice from the Stealey Community Fund Advisory Board. Ruth Stealey Green established it as a memorial to her family, whose history is closely connected to Middlebourne’s development and activities.
The fund supports work within Middlebourne and organizations or programs outside the town’s municipal boundaries that serve its residents. Special consideration goes to projects improving residents’ quality of life, including improvements to library, recreational, municipal, and youth services. Income from the endowment is awarded annually, with distributions at the discretion of CFOV’s Board of Directors and application review involving community stakeholders.
