We select local nonprofits or national nonprofits with a presence in Northern Virginia, provided that our grant will serve residents in our Northern Virginia-D.C. region. Since our donations are modest, usually in the $3,000 to $5,000 range, we choose nonprofits that can use our gift to make a significant difference to those it serves. Nonprofits must be registered as a public charity.
At our most recent meeting on November 6, 2025, members chose to support SHARE of McLean. Share partners with individual donors and local organizations to provide essential resources including food and clothing, furniture, and emergency financial assistance to promote stability and self-sufficiency to more than 1,400 households (more than 3,500 individuals.) Founded in 1969, Share continues to operate entirely by volunteers who put in an estimated 1,200 hours each month.
