Grant Board

Funding Opportunities

Welcome to our online Grants Board! Like our Job Board, we’ve created a space where you’ll be able to see current requests for proposals/open funding opportunities from our Funder Members and other philanthropic organizations. If you are looking to broaden your networks in announcing grant opportunities, please send your information to Angie or Patte. We hope this will be a valued resource for our Members, as well as grantseekers and the broader Virginia nonprofit community.
