The Loudoun Chamber Foundation is accepting applications for its 2024 grant cycle, with a focus on supporting nonprofit organizations that enhance the quality of life in Loudoun County. The Foundation’s grantmaking priorities are economic development and entrepreneurship, education and workforce development, public safety, and community health. Priority is given to applicants who are members of the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce. Grants are intended for general operating support of the organization's overall mission and activities.

Eligible applicants must be 501(c)(3) public charities in good standing with the IRS and must serve the Loudoun County community. Organizations that received funding in 2023 are not eligible for the 2024 cycle, and grant recipients must publicize the support from the Loudoun Chamber Foundation. The Foundation does not fund political or religious causes, fundraising events, or individuals.

Applications open on October 15, 2024, and are due by November 12, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. Grants are expected to range from $2,000 to $5,000, with final decisions announced by December 20, 2024, and public announcements in January 2025.

An optional pre-application workshop will be held online on October 22, 2024, at 2:00 p.m., with registration available through the provided Zoom link. A recording of the workshop will be accessible to all registrants. For assistance, contact Joanne Trimmer, Director of Grants and Nonprofit Programs.
