As the largest grantmaker in southeastern Virginia, we have awarded more than $140 million in grants and scholarships over the decades.
Our donors' dollars are at work in all our region's cities every day helping just about every area nonprofit you can think of -- from arts groups to homeless shelters.
Our goal is to make life even better for everyone living in Hampton Roads.
Our foundation formed on January 1, 2010 from a merger of two long-time community foundations -- The Norfolk Foundation and The Virginia Beach Foundation.
