United Way of Staunton Augusta County & Waynesboro Inc
UNITED WAY OF STAUNTON AUGUSTA COUNTY & is a Form 990-EZ (a small public charity) based in Fishersville, Virginia. Its 2024 filing says the organization was forced to close its doors in September 2024 because of unforeseen circumstances, lack of operating funds, and the cessation of support and services from United Way Worldwide. The 2024 filing is marked as the organization’s final return, and the 2025 filing reports no grants and no assets; the organization therefore appears to have wound down and stopped grantmaking.

Blue Ridge Legal Services, also a 2024 grantee, says it provides legal assistance in non-criminal proceedings to people unable to afford it in western Virginia.
