In the spirit of those who started with a vision to give back to Summers County, the Hinton Area Foundation gives priority to project proposals that contribute to community beautification and improvement in Summers County. The foundation also encourages applicants to have a commitment of matching funds, and to stimulate community involvement by organizing volunteer help or collaborating with other groups for the sustainability of their project.
The Hinton Area Foundation uses the income of the Classes of Hinton High School Making A Difference endowed fund to award these grants each fall. While not all requests can be honored or honored in full, the foundation makes every effort to fund as broadly as possible the requests that meet criteria.
To grant recipients, the foundation extends thanks for conscientious efforts on behalf of the Summers County community, “We truly appreciate your service and are delighted to be able to help fund your successful contribution to its improvement.”
