Applications open for mini grant funding each Summer for the 9/11 Day of Service and each Fall for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service.
The next funding cycle will be for 2025 9/11 Day of Service projects and will open in Summer 2025.
Eligibility
Applicants must represent public or private nonprofit organizations that serve the Commonwealth of Virginia, including faith-based and other community organizations, public or private schools, institutions of higher education, and government entities. Funding will be provided on a reimbursement basis to selected organizations and proof of project completion and volunteer engagement is required.
