Thank you for opening this year’s giving guide. Inside, you’ll discover over 80 nonprofits across the DMV doing vital work. Each has faced a demanding year, responding to increased needs with fewer resources. Every day, they prove that small, focused actions add up to lasting change.
We know the challenges can seem overwhelming –uncertainty is the only constant, and the problems before us are too great for any one person or group to solve alone. But progress happens when we join together, each doing our part, step by step, day by day. That’s how real change takes root in a community.
Our five-year strategic plan is built around the “CASE” for Community: Creating connections, Advancing advocacy, Strengthening capacity, and Elevating awareness.
This is our blueprint – and our invitation to you – for the next 1,826 days...will you help make the CASE for Community?
Will you act today to shape the future you want tomorrow?
We hope this giving guide inspires you to take action – by giving, volunteering, or introducing an inspiring nonprofit to a friend. These small efforts are the wellspring of our community’s strength and hope. The future we imagine starts with what we do today.
Strengthening local communities is our life’s work.
Together, we can be a catalyst for good.
