The Community Grants program, administered by the Williamsburg Community Foundation (WCF), provides funding of up to $5,000 for programs benefiting residents in Williamsburg, James City County, and York County. The program supports projects in various categories, including Arts & Culture, Children & Young Adults, Environment & Conservation, Health & Community Wellness, Economic Mobility, and Senior Services. Additional funding is available for special interest areas such as affordable transportation, visual arts, vocal performances, low-income women and girls, low-income seniors, and bicycling initiatives.

Applicants can submit a single application to be considered for both Community Grants and funding from special interest funds. Those interested in field-specific funding can indicate their preferences by checking the appropriate box on the application. Grant awards may combine contributions from multiple WCF funds, which will be detailed in the award notification.

This program is ideal for nonprofit organizations and community groups addressing local needs in the specified regions. Proposals should clearly outline the project’s impact and alignment with the foundation’s funding priorities to maximize the likelihood of receiving support.
