2021-2022 Annual Report

Northern Virginia is in an extraordinary moment of renewal. The local economy is driving the entire region's growth with a record surge in entrepreneurial startups and many more job openings than can be filled. There is a palpable sense of interconnectedness, creativity, and rebirth. It is a time of rousing renewal for the region, and for the Community Foundation as well- as we've worked on addressing the mental health needs of Northern Virginians, and adopted a strategic plan around four pillars of engagement- social and economic mobility, racial justice and equity, inclusive systems of economic growth, and community resilience.

2019-2020 Annual Report

The past year has tested pretty much everything we are as human beings, as a country, and as a local community.  The Community Foundation therefore spent considerable time during 2020 in response mode, helping the region address not one, but two crises – the COVID-19 pandemic and racial injustice.

This annual report outlines the many ways the Community Foundation responded to need, seeded innovation and led and convened the community this year, including record levels of grantmaking, the launch of Insight Region^TM, a center for community research, and a new Build Back Dream Forward initiative that helps address the impacts of the virus on communities of color in the region.
