Summary
This grant is for nonprofit, tax‑exempt organizations and public entities in Virginia. The organization must be formally recognized (or use a fiscal sponsor) and propose programs that align with the foundation’s strategic priorities. Individuals, for‑profit businesses are not eligible.
Applications are accepted regularly on a rolling basis, with quarterly review cycles by staff, a grants committee, and ultimately the board. You’re encouraged to discuss your ideas with a program officer before applying. The application must be submitted through an online grants management system and requires detailed project information, including budgets, capacity of the organization, evaluation plans, goals, and any collaboration or partnerships.
Proposals reviewed based on several factors: the scope of the request, evidence of demonstrated need, alignment with mission, the organization’s ability to carry out the project, financial health, sustainability beyond the grant period, and clarity of measurable outcomes. Awards are contingent on available funds and approval by leadership bodies.
Grant amounts can vary greatly. Some grants are modest, while others are substantial, depending on project scale and significance. In past cycles, grants have ranged from tens of thousands of dollars to amounts in the hundreds of thousands (and in some cases into the low millions) for large, transformational projects.
The funds are intended to support new programs or the expansion of existing ones, replication of proven practices, planning or policy work, capital or equipment needs tied to programmatic goals, or collaborative efforts among nonprofits. The foundation does not support debt reduction, endowment building, purely operating deficits, or efforts outside its strategic focus or service area.
If selected, recipients enter into a grant agreement, are expected to report on progress and expenditures, and must adhere to any monitoring, evaluation, or site review requirements. This opportunity is ideal for organizations with well‑thought‑out projects, measurable impact, and commitment to long‑term community benefit.
Organizations and individuals based in Virginia who are engaged in Education may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
