Summary
This grant opportunity offers financial support for programs that create meaningful community impact across several regions, with a particular emphasis on the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, including parts of Maryland and Virginia.

Eligible applicants are primarily nonprofit organizations with a demonstrated commitment to improving the quality of life in the region. The funding can be used for general operating expenses, project-specific support, or capacity-building efforts, depending on the scope and mission of the applicant’s work.

Grant cycles are held multiple times per year, and application procedures emphasize thoughtful planning and community engagement. If your organization is located in the D.C. area or nearby counties and is working to make a difference at the local level, this could be a strong fit.
