Sharing Prince George’s - Letter of Inquiry
summer 2024

Over the years, the Sharing Prince George’s Fund of the Greater Washington Community Foundation has supported high-impact nonprofits serving Prince George’s County’s most vulnerable residents. We are proud of the ways these organizations have responded to the community’s needs and worked in partnership toward our shared vision for a more equitable, just, and thriving Prince George’s County.

As part of The Community Foundation’s 10-year strategic plan, the Sharing Prince George’s Fund is focused on addressing urgent community needs, advancing economic justice, and, ultimately, working to close the racial/ethnic wealth gap which undermines the health and stability of our entire community. Therefore, Sharing Prince George’s grantmaking priorities for this year include: Economic mobility resources that enable people to chart a pathway out of poverty (e.g., access to higher education, training, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, etc.); and Individual and Community Wealth Building opportunities which empower people with the financial and social capital needed to build wealth so they can weather crises and pursue their dreams.

Award

For the FY25 cycle, Sharing Prince George’s will make up to ten (10) one-time grant awards of up to $50,000.

With facilitation by Community Foundation staff, the Sharing Grant Committee will also identify a cohort of 2-3 organizations that will receive multiyear grant commitments.

The one-time grants will support nonprofits’ work this coming year, while the flexible multiyear grants are geared to help nonprofits advance their long-term goals for themselves and the communities they serve.

How to Apply

Interested organizations must complete all the fields in the application form by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, August 12, 2024.

By early September, The Community Foundation will inform those nonprofits that have been selected to submit a full proposal for funding
