PROFILE: Established in 1997, the Logan County Charitable & Educational Foundation (LCCEF) is a grantmaking foundation based in Logan, West Virginia. This is a foundation formed by the late Martha Jane Becker, who funded the expenses to launch the foundation and provided an initial donation. Becker believed in giving back to the community where one had lived or pursued a livelihood. The foundation aims to "enrich the community charitable, educationally and scientifically by improving the quality of life and promoting philanthropy.” It funds local efforts for education, arts, libraries, health, economic development and other community needs.

The Logan County Charitable & Educational Foundation provides a wide range of support to local nonprofits in the founder’s home region. It awards grants through designated, donor-advised and field-of-interest funds set up by donors. In addition to grants, LCCEF also awards scholarships to local students.

Grants range between about $500 and $25,000. Learn more about this funder’s local giving by examining its recent tax records. Grantmaking focuses on Logan County in West Virginia. Past local grantees include Holy Trinity Church, the Logan Rotary Club and the Appalachian Children’s Chorus.
