The Community Foundation's mission is to make the Richmond region a better place with bold solutions and inspired philanthropy.
The Community Impact grants aim to support nonprofits that align with the foundation's focus areas: cultural vibrancy, economic prosperity, educational success, and health & wellness. The grants prioritize projects most directly tied to enhancing opportunity for low-wealth residents and emphasize racial equity, high-quality programming, capacity building, and collaboration among public, private, and nonprofit entities. Specifically, the grants target strategies within affordable housing, early childhood education, and workforce development as high-impact areas likely to produce positive and lasting change in the Greater Richmond region.
