Total Action for Progress, or TAP, helps individuals and families achieve economic and personal independence through education, employment, affordable housing, and safe and healthy environments. For over 50 years we have worked to restore hope, dignity, and opportunity for those who want to claim their potential or need a second chance. With over 25 programs, we make education, jobs, and safe places to live a reality. .......... TAP is an independent community action agency that is not affiliated with a larger franchise—nor are we a government agency. This means money that is raised for TAP stays here in SW VA, invested in the people that we serve. We do not provide "handouts"​. Rather, we work to attack the root causes of poverty by providing opportunity and access to services in these areas: education and career development, business and economic development, and housing and community solutions. ..........

Appalachian Mountain Advocates, formerly the Appalachian Center for the Economy and the Environment, is a nonprofit environmental law and policy organization founded in 2001. We believe there is no more environmentally destructive practice than mountaintop removal mining occurring anywhere in the United States, and we will not rest until we have stopped it. We have had unprecedented success in enforcing the Clean Water Act and other environmental statutes against coal mining operators. Our litigation has raised the costs of mountaintop removal mining, making less destructive forms of energy production more competitive. The legal theories that we have developed and implemented have fundamentally changed coal mining and environmental regulation in the region. Our work has been the catalyst for much of the grassroots opposition to mountaintop removal mining.
