Led by Partnership for Housing Affordability and ACTS, a new collaborative effort is underway to provide emergency rental assistance to those facing possible eviction in the wake of COVID-19.

The Community Foundation is proud to support Mending Walls RVA, a public art project that pairs up artists of different backgrounds to create unique connections and give them an opportunity to tell their story collaboratively in an effort to express healing through connection.

When health officials began advising the use of protective face masks to slow the spread of COVID-19, many individuals and agencies had difficulty finding or affording the masks they needed. In response, businesses, nonprofit staff, universities, and thousands of volunteers across the region stepped up to create and source masks for our community. 

Strong, skilled leaders are essential to fostering sustainable nonprofit organizations and a healthy, thriving community. The Community Foundation takes a holistic approach to capacity-building that includes more than just grantmaking.

Shalom Farms and Greater Richmond Fit4Kids both focus on food access and health education, and they are finding innovative ways to continue serving our community during this time.
