Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Feeding America: The largest national hunger-relief nonprofit in the U.S., directly addressing food insecurity — one of UW El Paso's four focus areas. Comparable as a large-scale national nonprofit in an adjacent program area competing for the same donor base.
• Habitat for Humanity International: A major national nonprofit focused on affordable housing and home repair — directly overlapping with the housing-stability component of UW El Paso's Center for Resiliency. Comparable as a federated nonprofit addressing a shared focus area.
• Boys & Girls Clubs of America: A national federated youth-services organization that closely parallels UW El Paso's BOOST Network out-of-school time programs. Comparable as a national umbrella nonprofit operating youth development programs through a local-chapter structure.
• United Way Worldwide: Parent organization of UW El Paso County. Sets brand standards, certification requirements, and network-level programs. As the federation's umbrella body, it shapes the operating environment and resource access for local chapters.

Regional players

• United Way Suncoast: A regional United Way chapter serving the Tampa Bay area with the same workplace-giving, donor-society, and community-program model as UW El Paso, but operating in a different geography. Useful for benchmarking programmatic and fundraising execution.
• United Way of New York City: The largest United Way chapter in the network, operating the same federated model at a vastly greater scale. A useful peer for understanding the ceiling of the United Way chapter model in major metro markets.

Direct peers

• United Way of Greater Houston: A large Texas United Way chapter operating the same model but at significantly greater scale in a larger metro area. Useful as a comparable for organizational design, signature event strategy, and corporate partnership development.
• United Way of Metropolitan Dallas: Another large Texas United Way chapter running an identical federated model with multi-tier donor societies, workplace giving, and community impact funds. Comparable in programmatic design though operating in a much larger metro.
• United Way of San Antonio: Another Texas-based United Way chapter operating the same federated workplace-giving and community-impact model in a similar mid-sized Sun Belt market. Comparable in scale, programmatic structure, and reliance on government combined campaigns and corporate sponsorships.
• El Paso Community Foundation: The El Paso Community Foundation is a local community foundation serving the same El Paso region with a similar model of pooling charitable gifts and directing them to community programs. It is the most direct local peer competing for donor attention and grantmaking influence in El Paso County.
