2 — EASTERNWESTVIRGINIA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION hese are exciting times for the Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation. During the past 18 years this organization has grown and prospered under the guidance of strong leaders and generous donors. What began with an initial $100,000 scholarship fund established by George THancock now has nearly 160 component funds and more than $15 million in endowed assets. The remarkable thing is we are just beginning to hit our stride and should reach $20 million in total assets in just about three years. Since our growth depends on two factors, market returns and donor generosity, we can’t be certain exactly when we’ll hit that next milestone, but we know we will get there. In this publication, we’ve chronicled a number of wonderful things that have happened during the past year. With an organization such as ours it can sometimes be difficult to explain the impact we have in our community, so we hope that between the stories in this Report to the Community and the support materials on our web site, you’ll gain a greater understanding of what a remarkable organization this is. And, if you still have questions please give us a call or send an email and we’ll get the answers for you. In the meantime, enjoy learning about who we are and what we do. Our accomplishments are great thanks to the concerted efforts of so many in the community.

retchen Wurzburg, was born in Berkeley County during the Great Depression and graduated from Martinsburg High School in1955. Miss Wurzburg was a public accountant for over 45 years and a member of numerous civic Ggroups and professional organizations. An astute businesswoman, Miss Wurzburg was also generous of spirit and decided to leave a legacy with the Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation. When she passed away in 2008 she named her nephew, Travis A. Hill, Jr. and his wife, Scarlett James Hill to be the advisors of the Wurzburg/Hill Family Fund. Because of Miss Wurzburg’s love of dogs, Travis and Scarlett recommended spending a portion of the Wurzburg/Hill Family Fund to build the first dog park in Berkeley County. The Wurzburg Dog Park is located in Ambrose Park in downtown Martinsburg. Its beautiful gates and state-of-the-art facilities will be enjoyed by area dog-lovers for years to come. Thanks in part to another grant from the Community Foundation, a Children’s Garden is also being built in Ambrose Park. The Children’s Garden will include a caterpillar room, a lookout tower, a “mountain,” a maze, a Hobbit House, and much more. The Gateway Garden Club is one of the moving forces behind the Children’s Garden and hopes to have everything up and growing by the summer of 2014.

erkeley County’s 4-H Camp Frame has been educating and entertaining area children for 87 years. On May 2, 1927, Nat. T. and Grace B. Frame conveyed 43.4 acres of land to the Berkeley BCounty 4-H Camp Association for the sum of $1. In the deed, Nat Frame included his vision for 4- H Camp Frame. “The camp and the activities that may be carried on here hold out the promise of many interesting things to challenge the thoughts not only of youth but of adults as well. I am sure you will agree that nature, as expressed right around us, is full of challenging interests. The wonderful stretch of landscape as viewed from this cliff, the many kinds of trees and wild flowers, the birds and animals, the creek, rightly studied and interpreted in the spirit which always pervades the 4-H Camp at vesper time, broaden our interests and lead us to interesting thoughts that stay with us,” wrote Nat Frame. “To me this is a place not merely to rest and exercise and learn, it should be a place where one looks through the vale to meet the realities of nature and the unfathomable power behind it.” Read about all of our Endowed Funds by visiting: “To live well and be happy one needs to be interested not only in nature but in his fellow men. Our http://ewvcf.org/Endowed_Funds.html friendships formed, our habits of cooperation with our neighbors, determine pretty largely the success or failure of our lives. What better environment where youth may establish lasting friendships and adults reconcile individual attitudes so that real cooperation can begin than in a 4-H Camp.” The Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation was entrusted with a 2007 legacy gift used to establish the Camp Frame 4-H Fund. Annual distributions from the fund will support Camp Frame programs and provide financial resources for future generations of 4-H campers for years to come.

The NIP Tax Credits are much better than a charitable deduction David and Olivia Hutton Tom and Virginia Seely because they actually reduce West Virginia state tax liability by up to 50%. Only certain nonprofit Jim Keel Darlene Truman organizations are eligible and the Community Foundation has been fortunate to receive a Marty and Marlyn Keesecker Keith Unger substantial allocation in recent years. Many of the nonprofit organizations with EWVCF endowed funds can benefit from NIP Tax Credits and we would be happy to share information about the Phil and Doris Kesecker Terry and Margaret Walker program if you are interested. Please call Michael at 304-264-0353 for details. Otho Lewis Paul and Lisa Welch Teresa McCabe Michael and Susan Whalton
