Grants
Nearly $700,000 awarded for health and wellness support
Since 1950, charitable people have created discretionary and field-of-interest endowments at the community foundation. Their generosity gives us the flexibility to fund a variety of causes in southeastern Virginia.
The Hampton Roads Community Foundation recently awarded $673,260 in grants to 9 nonprofit organizations within the Health & Wellness program area.
Why It matters: We believe that the support of health and wellness programs is paramount to our mission. We build a stronger, more equitable region when we help provide necessary resources for those in need.
