$949,994 spentof which $451,084 as grants$59,120 earned by the program99% of program spendingUnited way nsv has collaborated with united way agencies across virginia on the alice project, which shines a spotlight on the number of families in our community who are struggling to make ends meet. These families work hard and earn more than the federal poverty level, but can barely cover the basics: housing, child care, food, health care, and transportation. The problem is alice families, who often do not qualify for social services benefits, often don't know where to turn when a crisis occurs. The valley assistance network (van) was created to fill a gap in this area. This program was ended in november 2024.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2021 to 2022, from $2.4M to $2.0M (−15%).
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: 2021 36% · 2022 18% · 2023 3% · 2024 9% · 2025 16%. 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 9 reported years ran a deficit.
