Investments in our Community

Flexible, Responsive Funds for Northern Virginia

The Community Foundation for Northern Virginia strives to build a community that works for everyone. We use a data-driven approach to understand the greatest needs of the region and manage competitive and transparent grants and scholarship processes that bolster our community.

In 2020, we awarded more than $13 million in grants and scholarships, including $3,041,868 in grants from discretionary funds and from donor advised funds that the Community Foundation directly brokered to help respond to need and seed innovation in Northern Virginia.
