River Counties Community Foundation's (RCCF) mission is to bring people together to transform the community through informed and inspired philanthropy. Think of them as personal philanthropic advisors who work with donors to make their financial gifts go further.

Opening a charitable fund through RCCF makes a wise choice for people seeking a strategic yet simple approach to their long-term philanthropic giving and ensures that your contributions go where they can make a difference. And these three friendly faces have feet on the ground, talking to nonprofits daily: (pictured left to right) Lincoln Boykin, Director + Ashleigh Elliott, Administrative Associate + Jonathan Putt, Philanthropic Advisor.

Danny and Katie Powers', the owners of Easy Wind Farm in Burgess, dream of having a live music venue that exists solely to create magic, for the musicians and true music lovers, has come true time and again since the first artist took the Easy Wind Farm stage in October 2020. Today, EWF has grown into a secret gem on the Northern Neck and within the music industry.

The Powers have shared a lifelong passion for live music. Although both still work their day jobs, they travel throughout the mid-Atlantic and the South following their favorite bluegrass, jam-grass, new-grass, country and classic rock bands, seeing upwards of 50 shows a year.

The couple has worked hard each year to enhance the EWF experience. Musicians now relax in a fully stocked green room off the stage. All ticket holders can participate in Friday night community dinners before the festivities get underway. And after a full night of music and bonfires, hot coffee and a cereal bar fill the outdoor kitchen.

DON'T MISS THEIR FIRST SHOW OF 2025! May 2-4, 2025. Tickets are available at Three Little Birds in Burgess and online through Eventbrite.com. Read more about them and get your tickets for this season's shows before they sell out 🎟🎶🎸 at bit.ly/EasyWindFarm 📲
