About
The community foundation for northern virginia's mission is to advance equity across northern virginia through philanthropy and community leadership with the vision of building a community that works for everyone. The community foundation is a significant funder of the region's most important nonprofits and social sector initiatives. Our discretionary grantmaking is supported by the permanent fund for northern virginia, a collection of several permanent community endowments that currently include the innovation fund, the environment fund, the ROSS-roberts fund for the arts, the latino engagement and achievement fund, the education fund, the safety NET fund, the military personnel and their families fund, the mental health fund, the aging fund, the racial justice and equity fund, the child and youth development fund and the angus slater lamond fund for children and youth. The community foundation is also a community leader hosting a variety of conferences and convenings each year that highlight cross sector collaborations and other strategies that successfully increase the economic mobility of our children, promote racial justice and equity and develop more inclusive systems of economic growth. In 2020, the community foundation launched insight region, a new center for data community research. The data and reports produced by insight region enable a more common understanding of local challenges and opportunities, more rigorous and data-based conversations and more strategic action on the data.
