Ideal Applicant
A local or regional nonprofit (particularly in Virginia/DC) working in community assistance, health, youth development, or related services, seeking modest to mid-sized grants and able to submit a concise, letter-format request.
Good Fit
- • Programs serving Virginia or the DC metropolitan area
- • Requests framed as community assistance, health, or youth development
- • Ability to demonstrate local impact and use of a short letter-format application
- • Budget requests in the small-to-mid grant range ($5K–$25K) though larger hospital or capital requests have been made
Geography
Observed grants span four states but are regionally concentrated: roughly 62% of dollars went to Virginia with most remaining giving in DC and nearby states.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 37–42 distinct recipients annually and added many new grantees each year, covering a range of purposes including community assistance, health, youth programs, and education.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness is strong: a public application form and submission email exist, and the latest year shows a large number of new grantees (about 26 new recipients), so unfamiliar local applicants appear likely to be considered.
