Grant County
Ridges stretch high above the North Fork as the Potomac carves its way past Smoke Hole Caverns. In the valleys below, neighbors gather at church suppers, students prepare for their futures, and families put down deep roots. From local farms to the close-knit streets of Petersburg and Dorcas, Grant County is built on tradition, resilience, and a strong sense of home.
We are proud to support Grant County through grants and scholarships that strengthen education, local programs, and community initiatives. Whether it’s helping students achieve their goals, funding local nonprofits, or supporting projects that bring people together, our commitment is to the people who make this county thrive.
Through partnerships and local giving, we’re working to create lasting opportunities while preserving the character and spirit that make Grant County special.
Join us in shaping the future of Grant County.
