JULY 20, 2022 — The Community Foundation announces its 2022 Community Impact grant awards, totaling over $4.6 million to 125 organizations across the Richmond region. Because the Richmond community continues to meet uncertain times with unparalleled generosity, robust donor support—including significant contributions to the Community Impact Fund—facilitated our largest grantmaking budget to date.
“At a time when local residents are dealing with the challenges of increased housing costs, limited childcare availability, higher grocery bills and much more, we are enormously grateful for our nonprofit partners that provide critical programs and services to support economic mobility,” said Scott Blackwell, Chief Community Impact Officer.
Grant recipient YWCA Richmond runs the Sprout School, which provides full-day, full-year, high-quality, and affordable early childhood education and infant care to families in the Greater Richmond region.
Community Impact grants are awarded through a competitive process and support local nonprofits whose strategies and outcomes align with the Foundation’s four focus areas: community vibrancy, economic prosperity, educational success and health and wellness. Within these areas, the Community Foundation has committed to making its deepest investments in affordable housing, early childhood education and workforce development initiatives to increase access and opportunity for low-income residents in the Richmond region.
Grant recipient GoochlandCares provides an array of services for low-income residents in the Goochland area, including critical home repairs that restore existing homes to safety for homeowners without the resources for repairs.
This year’s grants invest in nonprofit organizations that provide direct services for individuals and families, collaborate to enhance community-wide systems and advocate for equitable access. Here are a few notable highlights:

JUNE 10, 2022 — This year, the River Counties Community Foundation has reached a remarkable milestone. For the first time in its 26-year history, the Foundation has awarded over $1 million in grants during its annual awards cycle to support organizations serving Lancaster, Middlesex and Northumberland Counties.
“This is an amazing accomplishment for rural philanthropy, and it is a testament to the philanthropic spirit of the residents of our area and the strong relationships the River Counties Community Foundation has nurtured over the years,” said Lincoln Boykin, Director of Affiliate Foundations.
Established in 1996 as an affiliate of the Community Foundation for a greater Richmond, River Counties Community Foundation became part of a national movement to expand the community foundation model into rural communities. To date, the organization has granted over $14 million to local organizations.
The grants below are a snapshot of the 54 projects supported in 2022:
Deltaville Community Association received support for the installation of new, energy-efficient LED lights at Deltaville Ballpark. Modern fixtures will provide a higher peak illumination and thus a safer playing environment, and new adjustable settings will reduce ambient light pollution and provide light intensity variations for non-baseball events such as concerts and festivals.

This playground will include a massive climbing structure, a specialized surface that allows for wheelchair accessibility, a walking path, a music center, inclusive swings and more.

This grant will also help to improve property values and lower property maintenance costs due to the availability of adequate wastewater disposal.
Northern Neck – Middlesex Free Health Clinic (NNMFHC) received support to provide access to health care for low-income residents. This grant supports the provision of essential medical supplies and equipment for the clinic and covers the salary cost for a second medical provider, which will reduce delays for appointment times. The grant also provides for the annual cost to transport and house VCU dental students as they provide services to low-income residents.
YMCA of the Virginia Peninsulas received support for a regional, year-round Preschool, School Age and Summer Day Camp Program for children ages 8-weeks through 12 years old. This program is structured to help children stem learning loss, facilitate personal and academic development, foster individual self-confidence, and offer social maturation. The Foundation’s support ensures that no child is turned away due to economic need.
