Key takeaways

  • If your organisation is a recognised 501(c)(3) working on a tangible project in Fauquier County or surrounding counties, its work fits the foundation's stated focus.
  • The foundation does not fund administrative or operating expenses, so organisations seeking those should look elsewhere.
  • About 8 in 10 of its 65 grants to organisations fall between $5,000 and $35,000 and the median is $15,000, so a request in that region is typical, though the largest grant was $43,000.
  • Applications are received each year between February 1 and April 30, and should state the specific assistance sought, justify the amount, and include the IRS determination letter, annual report and mission statement.
  • The foundation gives greatest interest to organisations with a demonstrated history of work in the area and a specifically identified project, and in the filing 56% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings.
