About United Way of the Wabash Valley
A major part of United Way of the Wabash Valley Inc.'s recent grantmaking centers on substance use disorder support, with several large awards to Terre Haute organizations across 2023 through 2025. Next Step Foundation received $290,272 in 2023 and $109,466 in 2024, while Hamilton Center received $128,262 in 2024 and $108,444 in 2023. The same pattern reaches beyond treatment to recovery infrastructure and related community responses, including $112,530 to Chances for Indiana Youth in 2024 and $51,349 to Wabash Valley Recovery Center in 2025. The foundation also backs public systems and youth-serving institutions. Vigo County School Corp received $401,864 in 2023, $336,879 in 2024, and $106,792 in 2025 for Youth Success, showing a repeated relationship over multiple years. Community health and emergency response appear alongside those larger awards, with funding to Mental Health America in Vigo County for Covid-19 Grant work and to Housing Authority of Terre Haute for the same purpose. The overall pattern shows a local funder using a mix of programmatic awards, allocations, and issue-specific grants to support education, health, financial stability, safety net services, and neighborhood improvements in the Wabash Valley.
