The Greater Washington Community Foundation ignites the power of philanthropy, leads for community impact, and responds to critical community needs. For five decades, The Community Foundation has connected caring donors with nonprofits creating lasting change in DC, Montgomery County, Northern Virginia, and Prince George’s County. As the region’s largest local funder, we have invested more than $1.5 billion since 1973 to build racially equitable, just, and thriving communities where everyone prospers. Now, our strategic focus is to close our region’s racial wealth gap so that people of all races, places, and identities reach their full potential. As a community foundation, we keep our finger on the pulse of the issues and organizations that make a difference in our region. We have developed deep expertise in local philanthropy, strengthening the region’s critical nonprofits, and identifying opportunities to create meaningful change for our community.
