The Sean Warner Memorial Endowment Fund was established to honor the memory of Sean Warner by aiding children, focusing on providing emotional support services for children of divorced parents.
The grant programs offered by The Community Foundation of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County are designed with broad goals to support nonprofit organizations through competitive funding opportunities. The "Giving Back" process annually connects local nonprofits with grant funding, responding to their evolving needs and offering visibility for their projects and funding requirements in the community. Grants are awarded from several funds including the Community Endowment Fund, supporting projects of significant benefit to the local area; the Valley Arts & Culture Fund, providing funds for arts and cultural nonprofits; the Mary Spitzer Etter Endowed Fund, benefiting arts organizations; and the Janet Sohn Endowed Fund, specifically for designated nonprofits. These grant programs collectively aim to enrich the community by funding a wide range of projects and services.
