Loudoun Community Impact

In 2014, through the Loudoun County Community Impact Fund, United Way NCA awarded 17 grants totaling nearly $192,000 to member organizations serving Loudoun. These funds provide critical support for local organizations working with the most challenged populations in our community.
“The money raised by the Loudoun County Community Impact Fund is invested right back into Loudoun, supporting the nonprofit organizations that are best positioned to serve our community’s needs,” says Amy Bobchek, who is the chair of the United Way NCA Loudoun County Regional Council.
