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 February 6, 2025, members chose to support Herndon-Reston FISH. For 55 years, has been responding to local residents who are facing a short-term financial assistance, offering Friendly, Instant, Sympathetic, Help with aid for rent, utilities, medical expenses, and repairs on cars needed to keep a job. Most recipients have extremely low incomes and H-R FISH’s assistance helps them avoid homelessness or living without heat or electricity. H-R FISH will use our donation to to help families and individuals living in northwestern Fairfax County who are in a short-term financial crisis.
