About Wiregrass United Way
Wiregrass United Way Inc’s recent giving is shaped by steady annual allocations to local partner agencies across the Wiregrass, with recurring support going to organizations that deliver services in education, health, financial stability, community resiliency, and partner capacity building. The foundation’s largest recent grant in the data, $216,000 in 2025, went to Boys & Girls Club of Wiregrass in Dothan for all activities. Another large award in 2025 provided $181,571 to Spectracare Health Systems, also in Dothan. That pattern points to a funder that backs operating needs rather than isolated projects, using grants to sustain a network of community organizations that serve the same region year after year. The grant list also shows support for youth-serving and family-support organizations in nearby cities, including Vivian B Adams School in Ozark and Christian Mission Centers in Enterprise. Across the recent grants shown, the funding stays local and is concentrated in Alabama, consistent with a community-based model tied to Wiregrass area partner agencies. The organization describes its role as uniting community-approved organizations and allocating resources to ensure accountability to donors, which matches the repeated allocations visible in the grant record.
What Wiregrass United Way Funds
Education is a clear part of the portfolio: Wiregrass United Way Inc gave $179,208 in 2025 to Vivian B Adams School in Ozark for all activities, following a $132,500 grant in 2024 to the same grantee. Youth development also appears through support for Southeast Alabama Youth Services, which received $163,000 in 2024. Health-related funding shows up in the allocation to Spectracare Health Systems in Dothan, including $181,571 in 2025. Community support organizations are also present, such as Salvation Army of Dothan, which received $108,248 in 2025. The focus areas listed for the foundation—education, health, financial stability, community resiliency, and partner agency capacity building—align with that mix of school, health, and safety-net grantees.
How Wiregrass United Way Gives
The recent grants cluster around a median size of $70,208, with the 25th percentile at $35,936 and the 75th percentile at $104,993. The distribution suggests a regular allocation model with many mid-sized awards and a smaller set of larger grants. The foundation’s active programs include monthly allocations to partner agencies, annual allocations, and a challenge grant for capital improvement projects. Recipients appear across multiple years, especially in the partner-agency network, which indicates recurring support rather than one-time giving. The organization does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
