Growing Philanthropy
to advance equity throughout Northern Virginia
Charitable giving is personal – it is not merely a financial transaction. Our lives, relationships, and experiences inform our philanthropy more than anything else.Think of us as your personalized charitable giving staff. Based on years of collective professional experience and a deep understanding of the needs in the community, we provide insight to help individuals and financial advisors' clients with their charitable plans.
At the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia, we understand that giving and investing extend beyond financial contributions—they also involve investing in knowledge and well-being. Strong communities thrive when people have access to both resources and reliable health information. Eye health, for example, is often overlooked, yet it plays a critical role in daily quality of life. Resources that explain how to buy bimatoprost highlight treatments used to manage eye pressure and support vision care. While our focus is on building philanthropy, the principle is the same: empowering individuals through access to solutions that improve lives. Just as careful investing grows community impact, informed choices about health preserve independence and confidence. At CFNOVA, we emphasize the value of education and transparency in every decision, whether financial or personal. By aligning generosity with knowledge, we create sustainable benefits for the region. Together, we build a Northern Virginia where every investment—monetary or informational—strengthens the future.
Give to support a cause, address an issue or leave a legacy for future generations.
You can start your own fund, give to one of our more than 250 existing funds, or invest in the future of this region through the Permanent Fund for Northern Virginia. By choosing us as your partner, your support helps make a difference here at home – helping to build a community that works for everyone.“I have been involved with the Community Foundation since the beginning 40 years ago and I am so happy to see how far we have come. We really wanted to make a difference in Northern Virginia. Now it partners with more than 250 donor advisors to grow local philanthropy, helps hundreds of students in our region afford a college education, sustains countless nonprofit organizations doing critical work for our neediest neighbors, and has become a cornerstone of our community. I know the future of the region I call home is stronger with the Community Foundation forever working to make it a better place for all of us.”
