United Way of the Mid-Ohio Valley improves lives by uniting the helpers in our communities to advance the common good.
United Way Alliance of the Mid-ohio Valley Inc directs local dollars to partner agencies and competitive grantees working on education, health, financial security, crisis response, and community resiliency across the Mid-Ohio Valley. A defining feature of the foundation is its use of agency allocations alongside an annual competitive funding cycle, which ties its grantmaking to named community priorities rather than a single program area. Recent awards show that pattern clearly: in 2025 it gave $26,750 to O'Neil Senior Center in Marietta for uniting communities and improving quality of life, and $24,000 to Boys and Girls Club of Parkersburg for the same purpose. The grant list also includes support for organizations that provide safety-net services, food security, and youth-focused programming, matching the foundation’s stated focus areas. Recipients include community-based organizations and local service agencies in West Virginia and neighboring Ohio, with grants commonly routed through long-standing partner organizations. The foundation’s public materials describe its work as uniting helpers in local communities to advance the common good, and the grant record shows that mission expressed through practical support for nonprofit service delivery, community impact work, and local collaboration.
Education and youth opportunity appear repeatedly in the grant record. In 2025, Boys and Girls Club of Parkersburg received $24,000, and Boys and Girls Club of Pleasants County in St. Marys received $11,000, both under the “to unite communities, and to improve quality of life” description. Financial stability and basic-needs support also show up through community service organizations such as Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Mid-Ohio Valley, which received $16,500 in 2025. Safety-net and crisis-response work is another clear theme: Family Crisis Intervention Center in Parkersburg received $16,500 in 2025, while North Star Advocacy Center received $15,000 the same year. The foundation’s stated focus areas also include health, food security, veterans and military family support, and ready-to-learn education, all within a regional Mid-Ohio Valley framework.
Typical grant size centers in the low five figures: the 25th percentile is $7,500, median grant size is $11,500, and the 75th percentile is $16,562. The recent grant list shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Wood County Society, Family Crisis Intervention Center, Community Resources, and the Boys & Girls Club network, which points to ongoing partner-based funding rather than one-time-only awards. The foundation gives through agency allocations as well as an annual competitive funding cycle, and it accepts unsolicited applications for that competitive stream. Its philosophy tags also indicate community-directed and unrestricted-style funding.

Grantmaking is regional, with the strongest concentration in West Virginia. Sixty-two percent of grants go to recipients in WV, and the top giving state by count is also WV.

Marietta, Ohio is another frequent recipient city, including O'Neil Senior Center, Eve Inc, Caring Connection, and Gopacks. Smaller activity reaches St. Marys, WV and Vienna, WV, showing a Mid-Ohio Valley footprint that crosses the state line into Ohio.
