The P G and Ruby Hollandsworth Memorial Trust is a hyper-local funder focused on Clarksburg/Harrison County, WV, prioritizing faith-based charities, community service agencies, and direct scholarships to local students. They repeatedly support churches, emergency/mission services, youth organizations, and a local college, favoring unrestricted contributions and scholarship awards that benefit individuals and well-known community nonprofits.
The P G and Ruby Hollandsworth Memorial Trust gives at a local scale, with every recorded grant landing in West Virginia and a repeated emphasis on churches, mission work, safety-net organizations, and scholarships for students. In the recent grants list, the largest awards are $16,000 contributions to Alderson Broaddus College, Clarksburg Baptist Church, United Way of Harrison County, and Clarksburg Mission Inc., showing a mix of higher-education support, faith-based giving, and community aid. The trust also appears to maintain support across multiple years for the same local institutions, including Clarksburg Baptist Church and Clarksburg Mission Inc., alongside recurring scholarship awards to individual students. That pattern places the funder squarely in the day-to-day civic and educational life of Clarksburg and nearby Harrison County communities. Its grants include both nonprofit contributions and direct scholarships, indicating that the trust funds organizations and individuals within the same local philanthropic practice. The recipient list also shows support for youth and service programs such as YMCA and Boy Scouts, reinforcing a broad but tightly regional approach.
Faith-based work is one of the clearest themes in the trust’s giving. It awarded $16,000 in 2024 to Clarksburg Baptist Church, $16,000 in 2024 to Clarksburg Mission Inc., and $8,000 in 2024 to the Salvation Army in Clarksburg, all tied to local religious or mission-oriented service. Community support is another consistent area: United Way of Harrison County received $16,000 in 2024 and $14,667 in 2025, both in Clarksburg, while the YMCA of North Central WV in Clarksburg received $8,000 in 2024 and $7,333 in 2025. The trust also backs youth development through the Bsa - Mountaineer Area Council in Fairmont, with awards of $8,000 in 2023 and 2024, and $7,333 in 2025. Higher education appears as well through Alderson Broaddus College in Philippi.
Typical awards are small-to-midsize by foundation standards: the 25th percentile is $1,000, the median is $2,000, and the 75th percentile is $3,000. The recent grants list also shows repeated payments to the same recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025, especially for local nonprofits and scholarship beneficiaries, which points to ongoing support rather than one-off gifts. The trust funds both organizations and individuals, since the record includes contribution grants and scholarship awards. It does not make program-related investments.
