What Nelson Community Wellness Alliance Inc does
Mission
Mission: to promote wellness in the nelson community by developing and implementing strategies to reduce substance use among youth and their families. Vision: to create a community that is trauma informed, engaged, and actively working to reduce the stigma associated with addiction, trauma, substance abuse, and behavioral health conditions by providing education related to prevention, treatment, and recovery.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The nelson community wellness alliance (ncwa) is based in nelson county, virginia. Nelson is a designated rural health area by the health resources and services administration (hrsa). It is located between the cities of charlottesville, 40 minutes to the north, and lynchburg, 35 minutes to the south.due to the rural location of nelson county and lack of resources within the county many residents travel to other localities to access essential services. The target population for ncwa activities and events includes all residents in nelson county, with a special emphasis on the people residing in census tract: 51125950300 (including the communities of arrington, piney river, tyro, montebello, and gladstone). In february 2024, the board of ncwa voted to close the organization. Activity during 2024 consisted of preparation for planned 2025 year final year of existence and 2025 activity consisted of winding down and donating remaining assets to another 501c3 exempt organization. The entity has closed and this is a final form 990-ez filing.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $22k to $0 (−100%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2023 98%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
87% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund NELSON COMMUNITY WELLNESS ALLIANCE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 63% · 2022 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
87% of NELSON COMMUNITY WELLNESS ALLIANCE INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $5k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Virginia funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $34k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
