Mission of the Pocahontas County Foundation:

The Pocahontas County Foundation was organized to promote and enhance community based philanthropy in Pocahontas County. The Foundation receives funding to facilitate endowment-building and grant-making throughout the county. Seventy-five percent of these funds will be awarded through grants to charitable organizations for educational, civic and public purposes in Pocahontas County.

Pocahontas County Disaster Recovery Fund

On behalf of our county, the Pocahontas County Foundation has established the Disaster Recovery Fund (DRF) to provide a collaborative option for donors to help address both immediate and long-term unmet needs that will arise during times of disaster in Pocahontas County.  The DRF will provide grants focused on reducing the economic and health challenges on populations negatively impacted prior to and following a disaster as well as long-term needs that may emerge.
