Generation West Virginia makes concentrated, high-dollar investments in a single cross-sector initiative—the ACT NOW Coalition—channeling funds to community development groups, public universities, and education nonprofits to support economic transition and opportunity in coal-impacted parts of West Virginia. Their grants prioritize place‑based coal community revitalization, workforce and higher‑education partnerships, and youth educational programming delivered through local institutions.
Highly concentrated giving: very few, large grants focused on a single initiative delivered through multiple partner organizations—one dominant grantee receives the majority of funding while other large grants support coalition partners across academic and nonprofit sectors.
Notable grantees: Coalfield Development, West Virginia University, High Rocks Educational Corporation, Marshall University Research Corporation
