Join Us As a VISIONARY

Become a Visionary of Central West Virginia HEART, Inc.

1. You fund the part of this that outlasts us.

A Friend’s gift pays for the work of a season and a Patron’s gift pays for the year, while a

Visionary’s gift keeps HeartHouse functioning. Your gift of $25,000 or more goes toward the

long horizon: preserving an 1884 building, supporting the organizational infrastructure, or

enabling new spaces for training and community engagement. Your donation could support an

endowment that will produce income after all of us are gone.

2. You help the work travel beyond Weston.

Your gift helps establish The Center for Appalachian Wellness, a thinktank housed at

HeartHouse. The Center exists to study what we do and to document why it works, so that a

town three counties away does not have to invent the same program from scratch.

Philanthropies want to see a record of our success. We believe our framework and successes

can be mirrored in other communities. We intend to develop a record of what actually worked,

kept carefully enough that others can use it. Visionary support pays for that work.

3. You can put a name on something lasting.

A gift at this level can name a room or a capital campaign, and the name stays. It might be your

family’s name, or the name of someone you would like remembered in a building people walk

into every week. The ballroom, the Create Space, the Performance Lounge, and the archive are

all available, and we would rather talk with you about which one fits than assign you one.

4. Your gift is built around what you want to see exist.

At every other level, a gift fits into a structure we have already designed. At this level the

structure fits around you. We will sit down together, talk about what you want to make possible,

and then design the gift so that it produces exactly that. You can invest alone, or you can

convene a Visionary Circle of family members, colleagues, or a few people who share one

conviction, and shape a single named priority together.

5. The founding period will not come again.

Every Visionary who gives during 2026 and 2027 becomes a Founding Visionary of

HeartHouse, named permanently among those who built our foundation. Founding status

is something an organization can offer exactly once in its life. Now is your time to act.

What you receive when you donate at the VISIONARY level

Everything a Friend receives, including a copy of The Story of a House and What It

Became, our booklet on the 1884 building and how it turned into HeartHouse.

Permanent listing as a Founding Patron of HeartHouse for gifts made in 2026 or 2027.
A place on the annual Patron roll, or your privacy if you prefer it.
A conversation each year with our Founding Director about where the organization is headed and what it needs next.
An invitation for you and your guests to a Patron gathering at HeartHouse.
An operating report showing what your gift covered, line by line, rather than in general terms.
A voice. Patrons are consulted before we commit to a new program or a major expense.

How you can give.

Identify whether you want to give once, monthly, or across the tax

year. Your gift is tax deductible (EIN 42-2237503). Gifts in the memory of others. And

gifts from a donor advised fund are welcome.

We are glad to walk through you.
