Arlington Tomorrow Foundation Citizen Advisory Committee Application

Created by the Arlington City Council in 2007, the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation is a permanent charitable endowment with a mission to contribute to a thriving Arlington. Since its creation, the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation has awarded 572 grants totaling $51.3 million to Arlington nonprofit organizations and City of Arlington department projects, designed to address the needs of our neighbors, improve our natural surroundings and enhance the lifestyle and culture of the City.

The Arlington Tomorrow Foundation is seeking candidates throughout The American Dream City who bring varying professional and volunteer backgrounds and some firsthand experience with philanthropy. They should also reflect the City’s unique characteristics and diversity. Ideal candidates should have a broad knowledge of Arlington, and an understanding of the ways Foundations can help improve the quality of life for all who call Arlington home.

All committee members must be Arlington residents. Advisory Committee members are expected to meet up to six times a year and serve a term of two years. The selection process may include interviews with a sub-committee of the board members, which will be subject to Open Record requirements. Final appointments are made by the full Board of Directors.
