Who We Are
For over 85 years, with the help of 150 volunteers, and over 3,000 donors UWHCM drives change by providing community-elected funding to local agencies who implement community programs with measurable, lasting solutions. This secures the long-term advancement of education, financial stability and healthy living for all in Martinsville and Henry County, Virginia.
What We Do
Our mission is to advance youth opportunity, financial security, and a healthy community for all individuals in Henry County and Martinsville. We do this in two ways: through implementing internal programs and initiatives, and investing charitable contributions into our volunteer-vetted Community Impact Grants.
Our internal programming includes the following intitiatives:
Youth Opportunity
- MHC Partners for Children
- Dolly Parton's Imagination Library
Financial Security
- Bridges Out of Poverty
- Dollars and Sense Reality Fair
- Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin' By World
- Housing Stability Program
- Virginia Individual Development Accounts (VIDA)
- Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program
- Bank On
- Financial Coaching
Healthy Community
- Community Health Workers
- Martinsville-Henry County Assistance Network
Whereas our external funding decisions for these grants are made through an annual competitive process overseen by our Community Investment Review Panel. This diverse group of 20-30 volunteers ensure our investment with your contribution has the greatest local investment in our core areas of need. To view our most recent funding decisions, click here.
