GENERAL PURPOSES

Applicants should use the named trustee contact and mailing/phone route and submit concise, roll‑in materials (the foundation states 'no specific format required'). Emphasize alignment with education, youth, or community service work in the DC‑metro area and request general operating or program support; demonstrate local impact and any existing connections, since the funder mixes repeat relationships with a steady stream of new, smaller grants. Be aware one large grantee receives a disproportionate share of dollars, so realistic expectations about award size are important.
