Applicant awards: Grants usually range from $500 to $1,500, but this is the typical range rather than a published absolute maximum. Applicants must request a specific amount. No total funding pool has been published in the current guidance.
Eligibility: Faith-based organizations, local nonprofit organizations, government groups, and schools serving Loudoun County or Northern Fauquier County in Virginia. Nonprofit applicants must be IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) public charities in good standing. Proposed work should advance positive youth lifestyles, united youth communities, or youth community involvement, including youth mental health, education, substance use prevention, basic needs, safety, and youth leadership.
Application requirements: Youth-prepared proposals receive priority. An adult project leader may prepare an application, but a youth volunteer and participant must provide a Letter of Endorsement. Applicants and youth endorsers must be able to attend an in-person presentation if invited, on March 1 or March 29, 2027. Collaboration, volunteer or in-kind support and matching resources are selection priorities, not a universally required cash match. An optional Zoom workshop is offered December 2, 2026. Grantees have one year to complete and spend project funding.
