Mission & Focus Areas
TEAM for West Virginia Children’s mission is to work with communities and families to promote and advance children’s well-being, making children’s needs and healthy development a priority. Its stated strategies include advocating for children, championing family-friendly communities, educating the public, and strengthening families.
Programs described in its 2024 filing include home visiting for expectant and young parents; public education about child abuse and its prevention; advocacy for abused children in court; and work to build state systems for home and family education and infant-toddler mental health. Its website describes the Partners in Prevention network as supporting local projects that strengthen families and help prevent child abuse and neglect.
The 2025 grantees include organizations with varied missions. For example, Childlaw Services says it provides legal representation and advocacy for children affected by abuse, neglect, or prolonged custody disputes. CASA for Children says it supports volunteer representation for abused and neglected children in foster care. Step by Step describes work with communities in southern West Virginia through dialogue, education, arts, wellness, leadership, resources, and services.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, TEAM reported 43 grants totaling $518,792. Grants ranged from $7,500 to $40,000, with a median of $7,500.

TEAM’s Partners in Prevention website reports that, in FY 2025, 54 community teams received $7,500 each to implement projects intended to increase protective factors for families and mitigate child-abuse risk factors. The website also describes Good Beginnings mini-grants of up to $1,000 for one-time, community-based primary-prevention projects. The application deadline published for that mini-grant opportunity was February 19, 2024, a past cycle. A separate Partners in Prevention network application opportunity had an August 25, 2023 deadline, also a past cycle; that opportunity required a team of at least three local organizations and parent or caregiver involvement.
