WV Community Development Hub

Communities in Hub programs leveraged an additional $676,375 from outside sources in 2025, expanding the impact of Hub-supported projects.

What it means: These are additional funds communities secured from external sources, outside of The Hub, to support their projects.

Why it matters: This demonstrates a ripple effect in that The Hub’s support helps communities attract and unlock additional investment.

Can you guess where in the world our Hub staff are this week?? 🌍✈️

Over half of The Hub’s team members are on the move! We're traveling to learn, gather, speak, and connect with partners and communities across the country. We’re showing up, learning from our peers, sharing what we know, and bringing back fresh ideas to strengthen our work here in West Virginia.

In 2025, The Hub embraced a year of change and growth.

Across West Virginia, we coached, supported, and connected, empowering leaders and communities to take action together. From a podcast in Wayne to a motel conversion in Kimball, to a documentary watch party on Charleston’s West Side, we celebrated wins both big and small.

We’re proud to share our 2025 Impact Report and the story of what we’re building together.
