Bringing about the West Virginia we envision is not the work of a single message, organization, or year.
For West Virginia's Future is a community of donors, institutions, and community leaders committed to funding the political transformation necessary to create a Mountain State where all residents can thrive for generations to come.
At FWVF, we are committed to the long haul by investing today in smart strategies that build momentum. Over time, we will change what is possible tomorrow, next year, and in ten years from now.
Meet Our Executive Director
In her role at FWVF, Renée raises resources and builds support for West Virginia's advocacy groups as they work to implement a shared plan to win material improvements in the lives of those who call the Mountain State home. Renée is proud to have led FWVF through a range of changes that deepened our partnerships with generous people across the country who are invested in our shared plan for the future. As our state and nation face unprecedented new challenges, FWVF is ready to lead.
Outside of work, Renée is a world traveler who is always eager for the next adventure. She currently lives with her husband in a 100+ year-old home they are renovating themselves in Charleston, West Virginia.

Our Vision
At For West Virginia’s Future, we envision the Mountain State as a place with broadly shared opportunity, security, and a government run by and working for all West Virginians. In this vision of the state, our government leaders will promote shared West Virginia values and solutions to pressing issues, rather than extreme ideologies and clickbait rage. With support from an engaged public, they will advance sensible, forward-thinking policies that improve our quality of life here in the Mountain State, now and for generations to come.
