Annual Fund

Community support is the foundation for the Clay Center’s good work, and gifts to the Annual Fund build on that in a powerful way.

Gifts to the Annual Fund lie at the heart of the Clay Center experience and touch nearly every aspect of life at the Center. From providing vital support for daily operations to ensuring the continuation of the Center’s programs, exhibits and performances, your donation will have a meaningful and lasting impact.

Your support brings our mission to life and makes our work possible. Every gift, regardless of size, is important. Don’t underestimate the power of your donation—an investment in the Clay Center is an investment in West Virginia’s future.

With a gift of $350 or more, you can enjoy Membership benefits while also providing crucial operational support.

For information about membership levels of $10,000 and higher, contact Carleigh Abbott, Individual Giving Specialist, at 304-561-3589 or cabbott@theclaycenter.org.
