The Community Foundation for Northern Virginia
The Community Foundation for Northern Virginia is a grant maker helping to meet the most critical needs of our region.  We develop assets for grant making from the community, for the community. 

Please DONATE NOW to our Community Investment Funds, and help us help our most vulnerable neighbors and residents.  You may direct your gift to any one of our five focus areas, or leave it undesignated and therefore available to meet the most urgent community needs.  We will use your gift to help fund high impact nonprofits and community based initiatives that make a difference in our region.

Working together, we can build a healthy, responsive, and vibrant future for Northern Virginia.
