TCF and partners award $24M in grants through June 30

The power of a community foundation lies in the generosity of its donors

The majority of grantmaking from The Community Foundation is done at the direction of donors who choose to partner with us on their philanthropy. We are privileged to work with hundreds of individuals, families and businesses who enjoy the opportunity to focus on how they want to make a difference, while we take care of the administrative details. Their collective generosity has resulted in $18 million in donor-directed grants for a variety of causes so far this year!

Our staff is always available to provide guidance as needed, with years of experience in matching donor interests with the good work happening throughout our region. While donor-directed grants often align with the Foundation’s focus areas, individuals may also recommend support for other interests like animal welfare, religious institutions or even organizations in other communities where they have ties. Whatever your passion, we can conduct research and help you achieve the greatest possible impact.

Competitive grants and awards total $6M

We are halfway through the year and already we have accomplished so much together, all to create a stronger, healthier and more vibrant RVA. Through June 30th, The Community Foundation and its funding partners – including the Jenkins Foundation, Pauley Family Foundation and REB Foundation – awarded $6 million in competitive grants. These are grants provided through an application process to support initiatives that address important community issues and build the capacity of organizations and their leaders. Competitive grant programs are made possible by the generosity of past donors, the participation of donor advisors who wish to leverage greater impact and the leadership of several volunteer committees.
