The Arts Fund

The Arts Fund was created in 2006 as a collaborative effort of Arts Monongahela and the Greater Morgantown Community Trust to provide important and much needed operating support to its member organizations. The assistance of the Arts Fund allows the organizations more time to focus on their programming and services.

The quality of life in Morgantown is enhanced by the activities and programs these organizations present each year from arts education to theater and dance productions.

Morgantown Market Place Fund

Main Street Morgantown and the Morgantown Parking Authority began their relationship with the Morgantown Growers’ Association in 2004, recruiting the Farmers’ Market into the downtown. The downtown Farmers’ Market over the past six years has become a commercial anchor and a community gathering place on Saturday mornings during their season. Main Street Morgantown established the goal of providing the Market with a permanent structure, protecting the produce, customers and vendors from inclement weather and establishing an open-air pavilion structure within the downtown.

Fort New Salem Endowment Fund

Established with a donation from the Clarksburg Harrison Cultural Foundation, this fund supports the ongoing development of Fort New Salem, a frontier log house settlement representative of 19th Century Appalachian life.

The Fort New Salem Foundation, which now manages the fort, is working to raise money to maintain the facility, make repairs to existing buildings and add new ones.
