About the
Foundation
The McGlothlin family began in a modest farmhouse nestled in the mountains of Southwest Virginia, in Buchanan County. Though the family was sustained in the early years through agrarian efforts and coal mining, the McGlothlins later became involved with oil, gas, real estate and financial services.
Today, The McGlothlin Foundation wishes to direct its philanthropy to worthy causes in higher education, healthcare, and the arts. The primary interest of the Foundation centers on infrastructure and brick and mortar projects; however, attention will be given to programmatic proposals as well. The Foundation's geographic area of interest is for projects located within Southwest Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, and Northeast Tennessee.
