Overview

The Alleghany Foundation, a private foundation, awards grants to 501(c)(3) organizations and qualifying political subdivisions primarily serving the Alleghany Highlands of Virginia (Alleghany County, Covington, and Clifton Forge). Strategic focus areas: Economic Transformation, Educational Excellence, Health & Wellness, Community Capacity, and Leadership & Civic Vitality. Grants are generally not made for debt reduction, endowments, or ongoing general operating expenses, and not to individuals or religious organizations; preference is given to non-recurring, project-based requests that leverage other funding.
