Make Your Impact
Creating lasting change requires vision, leadership, and resources. That’s why we’ve established the Impact Fund, a philanthropic option for you to fuel bold initiatives, foster innovation, and meet the most pressing needs in the capital area. Here’s how.
When you give to the Impact Fund, you invest where it matters most, now and in the future. Your gift makes it possible for us to lead with agility and respond to what our region needs most.
Case in point: Gifts to the Impact Fund foster Cultivate, our local solution to nationwide fundraising disparities affecting nonprofit leaders of color. To date, Cultivate has offered no-cost training and support to more than 60 leaders of color at area nonprofits, the very people on the front-lines of addressing our region’s most pressing challenges.
That’s not all. Gifts to the Impact Fund make possible efforts like:
- Big Day of Giving, which annually connects 30,000 local people to causes that matter.
- Culture Is Mental Health Project, which strengthens mental health for area youth by connecting them to their cultural backgrounds.
The Impact Fund is powered by people like you — those who believe in a vibrant, thriving community where everyone can succeed. Together, we can drive meaningful change and ensure a brighter future for generations to come.
