About United Way of the Chattahoochee Valley
United Way of the Chattahoochee Valley Inc. channels local dollars into community-led grants that support nonprofits working on education, health, and financial stability across the Chattahoochee Valley. Its core Community Investment Fund pools donations and uses a review process to fund vetted programs, with grants tied to specific donee programs rather than unrestricted awards. The recent grant record shows a steady pattern of support for organizations that serve families, children, and people facing instability in Columbus and nearby communities. Several recurring grantees illustrate that approach. The Boys and Girls Club of the Chattahoochee Valley received $607,000 in 2025, while Easter Seals of West Georgia Inc received $578,000 in 2025. Girls Inc of Columbus and Phenix Cityrussell Co was awarded $392,000 in 2025. Other repeated recipients include Feeding the Valley Inc, Family Center of Columbus Inc, Hope Harbour (columbus Alliance for Battered Women), YMCA of Metropolitan Columbus, and the Chattahoochee Council Boy Scouts of America. The foundation’s giving pattern reflects ongoing support for established local nonprofits rather than isolated one-time awards.
