We are the largest provider of grants and scholarships in Hampton Roads with a mission of making life better for all who live here.
The Environmental Stewardship Community Grants from the Hampton Roads Community Foundation are devoted to programs that aim to educate youth (grades 3-12) about the health of Hampton Roads' waterways and the impacts of sea level rise. The grant prioritizes programs that provide hands-on outdoor experiences, education on environmental issues pertaining to water-based regions, and opportunities for youth to devise and execute action plans focusing on watershed preservation and restoration. Successful grant proposals should demonstrate alignment with the foundation's priorities, clear desired outcomes, and a solid plan for measuring the program's effectiveness in achieving these outcomes.
