GIVING CIRCLE OF HOPE AWARDS GRANTS

The Giving Circle of HOPE is awarding $58,200 to 9 Nonprofit Partners in Northern Virginia whose programs encourage job creation, help build strong families, and assist community members in need.

This is the twelfth grant cycle for the Giving Circle of HOPE, an organization of more than 110 members that was founded in 2004 to promote volunteerism and effective philanthropy. Members seek to make a difference by contributing their time, talents and money and collectively deciding how to use those resources to positively impact the local community.

Since its inception, the Giving Circle has awarded over $900,000 through its grant program, Empty Bowls fundraiser, and Gifts That Give Hope alternative gift fair.

This year’s grant recipients include: All Ages Read Together, Bethany House, Centreville Immigration Forum, Grace Ministries of the United Methodist Church, Literacy Council of Northern Virginia, Lorton Community Action Center, Our Daily Bread, Offender Aid and Restoration of Arlington and Offender Aid and Restoration of Fairfax.

A Celebration to honor these Nonprofit Partners will be held in the spring of 2016.
