The Loudoun Community Response Fund — 2026 Community Stability and Assistance Grants, administered by the Community Foundation for Loudoun and Northern Fauquier Counties, funds applicant-facing human services that improve financial stability for residents of Loudoun County, Virginia. This is a distinct Phase Two competition from the separately announced Collaborative Community Solutions track, not a government procurement contract.
Individual applicant award: $20,000 to $50,000 is the stated grant range, although the foundation may partially fund applications. Its approximately $500,000 overall program pool is not an individual award or award maximum. No universal applicant cash-match percentage or reimbursement-only mechanism is stated in the published RFP.
Eligibility: Organizations must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charities or operate with a qualified fiscal sponsor, delivering the proposed program specifically for Loudoun County residents. One proposal per organization may be considered under this grant program. A nonprofit may separately apply to both this program and the Collaborative Community Solutions competition; each has its own solicitation and requirements. Individuals are not direct grant applicants.
Purpose and eligible expenses: Support financial and emergency stability through housing and rental assistance, utilities, food, emergency shelter, employment and transportation assistance, health or behavioral health expenses, childcare, financial coaching, benefits navigation, or crisis response. The organization may pay landlords, utilities, healthcare providers or other vendors on behalf of eligible residents. Direct cash payments to individuals are prohibited. Applications must explain how participant eligibility and assistance are determined. Programs should emphasize the effects of emerging funding and policy changes.
Conditions: No more than 7% of a grant may be used for qualifying facilities and administration expenses. Funds cannot supplant expenses already funded by other committed grants. Eligible grant work is scheduled for January 1–December 31, 2027. Grantees must spend funds by year-end 2027 and provide quarterly expense and outcome reports, including an unduplicated count of Loudoun residents served.
Application deadline: November 23, 2026, 5:00 p.m.; the published RFP does not expressly name a time zone. Apply through the Community Foundation’s online portal under “Loudoun Community Response Fund: Community Response Grants – Community Stability and Assistance 2026” with the grant application, budget and listed supporting documents.
