A nonprofit with programs in health and wellness, education, economic prosperity, or community vibrancy—particularly Virginia-based organizations or groups with clear Richmond/central-Virginia impact and the capacity to manage mid-sized grants.
Good Fit
- • Primary program work aligns with health, education, community vibrancy, or economic prosperity
- • A clear service footprint in Richmond or central Virginia (or a project with tangible benefit to that region)
- • Organizational capacity to manage grants in the $10k–$1M range
- • Existing relationships with local funders or civic institutions, or prior partnership experience with community foundations
- • Clear, measurable community impact and local partnerships
Geography
Grants were paid to recipients in about 45 states in the latest year, showing multi-state reach, although a strong majority of dollars (about 78%) stayed in Virginia.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows roughly 913 distinct recipients and nearly 900 grants across many program types (health, education, economic development, community vibrancy), and low concentration by top recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new access exists—about 27% of recipients were new in the latest year—and the foundation lists program staff plus a general contact route; however, no formal public application instructions were identified in the profile.
