About Orrville United Way

Among Orrville United Way Inc’s recent allocations, the largest award went to the Orrville Area Boys and Girls Club, with $153,000 in 2024 and $104,500 in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that makes repeated, place-based investments in local organizations serving Orrville and neighboring communities in Eastern Wayne County. The foundation’s grantmaking is organized around four impact areas: Healthy Community; Youth Opportunity; Developing Life Skills & Financial Security; and Community Resiliency. Its recent grants also show support for a broad local network. Salvation Army received $77,500 in 2024 and $70,000 in 2025, while Wayne County Schools, Wayne County Children’s Services, and Oneeighty Inc. all appear in the recent-grants list as recurring recipients. The foundation also funds direct-service work through Percy Programs, which includes locally administered supports such as Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, Friendship Meals, Happy Feet, and Sweet Dreams. Taken together, the grants show a community funder that mixes institutional support with practical services aimed at residents of Orrville, Dalton, and Marshallville.

In youth development, Orrville United Way Inc funded Wayne County Schools with $33,000 in 2024 and $30,000 in 2025, and also awarded $25,000 in 2025 to O-huddle. Those grants sit inside its Youth Opportunity focus and indicate support for organizations working with children and students. Health and behavioral-health needs are another visible strand. The foundation gave $45,000 in 2025 to Viola Startzman Free Clinic and $10,000 in 2024, then $9,000 in 2025, to Nami Moca House. It also allocated $15,000 in 2025 to Aultman Orrville Hospital-serenity Program. Emergency and family-stability work appears through Salvation Army, Community Legal Aid, and Wayne County Children’s Services. The recent list also includes $20,000 in 2024 and $17,000 in 2025 to YMCA of Wayne County, which fits the foundation’s community-resiliency and life-skills priorities.
