Leveraging collaborative partnerships to promote a healthy, thriving region.
Stay Connected
Welcome
At the Wellspring Foundation of Southwest Virginia, we are proud to serve as a philanthropic partner and key driver of resources for the Virginia residents of Washington, Grayson, Russell and Smyth counties.
Like you, we are proud to call Southwest Virginia home, which also means we are keenly aware of the challenges rural areas like ours face. Improving the health and wellbeing of our region is complex and requires collaboration among those who live, work and serve in these counties. The Foundation is governed by a local board of directors with expertise in healthcare, business, education and more. We are grateful to have their collective experience.
We are an organization that intends to be around for a very long time. It is our hope that the Foundation and the goal-oriented partnerships we cultivate will promote a healthy, thriving Southwest Virginia for generations to come.
