United Way of Harrison and Doddridge Counties

What United Way of Harrison and Doddridge Counties does

United Way of Harrison and Doddridge Counties (legal name United Way of Harrison County, Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1957 and headquartered at 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia. Originally serving Harrison County, it expanded to include Doddridge County in 2021 and operates with a staff of roughly 7–9 employees. Its mission is to advance health, education, and financial stability for residents across both counties through a hybrid model: it channels donations to 19 funded partner agencies (4-H, American Red Cross NEWV, Health Access, Senior Meals in Motion, HOPE, Legal Aid of WV, The Warming Shelter, and others) while also operating three direct-service programs — the Resilience Collaborative (ResCo) for housing stability and health equity, the WV 211 information-and-referral hotline (call/text/chat/email), and an Education Department delivering ESL classes, homework help/tutoring, and a free online GED prep course in partnership with Essential Education. Revenue is generated through an annual community fundraising campaign (over $700,000 raised in 2024), corporate leadership giving from regional employers (Antero Resources, FirstEnergy, Marathon Petroleum, MVB Bank), foundation grants (notably a $100,000 Antero Foundation grant in June 2025 and a $25,000 FirstEnergy Foundation grant in September 2025), and signature community events including the Birdie Bash golf marathon, Plane Pull campaign kickoff, and Drool at the Pool dog swim. The organization is currently in an Executive Director transition, with Paul McInturff serving as Interim Executive Director following Martin Howe's departure.

Direct peers

• Heart of West Virginia United Way: Regional United Way affiliate serving neighboring counties in central West Virginia with a similar portfolio of funded partner agencies, annual campaigns, and community programs. Closest geographic and operational comparable.
• Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation: Larger West Virginia community foundation serving the Charleston region with grantmaking and community programs. Comparable mission and grantmaking model, with larger scale and geographic footprint.
• Parkersburg Area Community Foundation: Regional community foundation in West Virginia administering grants, scholarships, and donor-advised funds. Comparable as a regional philanthropic institution, though structured as a foundation rather than a federated campaign.
• United Way of Monongalia and Preston Counties: Another West Virginia-based United Way affiliate of similar size and structure, funding partner agencies across health, education, and financial stability in two counties - directly comparable in scale and service model.
• Salvation Army Clarksburg: National faith-based social services organization with a local Clarksburg presence providing emergency assistance, food, and housing services. Directly competes for local donors and serves overlapping client populations.

Regional players

• Mountaineer Food Bank: West Virginia's largest hunger-relief organization distributing food across the state. Overlaps with UWHDC's food security programs (Senior Meals in Motion, The Circle) and is a likely regional partner/peer in addressing community nutrition.
• WV Community Action Partnership: Statewide association of community action agencies addressing poverty in West Virginia, including partner Central WV Community Action. Shares the anti-poverty mission and overlapping service population with UWHDC.

Broad incumbents

• United Way of Central Ohio: Much larger United Way affiliate demonstrating what scaled United Way operations look like - useful comparable for understanding upper-bound organizational potential and program sophistication.
• United Way Worldwide: The global umbrella organization overseeing the United Way network. Operates the brand standards, donor tools, and 211 infrastructure (including WV 211) that local affiliates like UWHDC depend on.

Others

• WV 211 (statewide 211 service): Statewide information and referral hotline that UWHDC operates locally. Overlapping infrastructure and program overlap make it both an enabling platform and a coordinating peer in the WV social services ecosystem.
