Foundation Facts
A+
A-
Created in 2007 by the Arlington City Council.
Since inception, more than $41 million has been contributed to almost 500 projects or programs.
We are a public charity serving Arlington exclusively.
Our mission is to contribute to a thriving Arlington.
The issues we engage in are centered on people and neighborhoods, nature and animals and programs which enhance the lifestyle and culture of the city.
We are a segregated, permanent endowment with grants made from earnings on our investments.
The City of Arlington capped its $100 million in contributions to Foundation's corpus in 2014.
The Foundation targets more than 76% of annual funding to help underwrite large grants which promise to have a large impact on the city and its citizens. Generally, projects in this category have a grant floor of $75,000 and may include support for capital and new programming efforts.
Recognizing the importance of ongoing programs which enrich and serve the people of Arlington, the Foundation typically targets 13% of funding for smaller grants with a grant floor of $5,000; ten percent of earnings will focus on underwriting City of Arlington endeavors.
The Foundation generally requires a financial match and/or sweat equity component as consideration for any grant awarded.
The full process from submitting an initial Letter of Inquiry to final grant consideration, may take up to four to six months.
Our procedures begin with a Letter of Inquiry and, with board approval, a final application would complete the review process.
The Citizens Advisory Committee reviews all Letters of Inquiry and final applications and forwards recommendations to the Foundation board for final approval.
