2022 Grant to SafeSpot Children's Advocacy Center Supports Youth Mental Health

In 2022, the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia invested time, resources and strategic investments to support access to mental health for Northern Virginia's diverse community.  Its Mental Health grantee, SafeSpot Children's Advocacy Center, provides child abuse victims and their families with a safe environment and support services as they navigate the aftermath of recovery and investigation.

Here is a story from SafeSpot, with a very powerful tale about the impact of this support for children in our region.  If you or someone you know is experiencing child abuse, please contact Virginia's Child Protective Services at 804-786-8536 for help and resources.


Founded in 1978, the Community Foundation has served this region for nearly five decades.  We use a unique, place-based, community approach to philanthropy. Our donors are local, grants from our unrestricted funds are awarded locally, and our leadership efforts are informed by local developments.

You can help strengthen Northern Virginia by making a year-end gift to the Community Investment Funds, the single largest source of grants for local nonprofits meeting the most critical and basic needs of the region.
