| “With
many cutbacks in funding programs (federal, state and foundations),
it is evident that The Virginia Beach Foundation is being seen
as a significant regional resource for program support not only
for donors but also for deserving non profit organizations.
In its 14th Grant Cycle the distribution committee and fund
Holders reviewed 118 Proposals. This year, the Foundation received
27 first time submissions,” stated John f. Malbon, Distribution
Committee Chairman.
From Discretionary
and Field-of-Interest Funds, the committee awarded $32,500.00
for program-related activities to 32 organizations having
a direct impact upon Virginia Beach Residents. Other awards
were based on the recommendations of Fund Advisors. “The
Foundation is very pleased with the interest shown by Fund
Advisors in supporting organizations in our city,” concluded
Malbon.
The Virginia
Beach Foundation views all awards as community investments.
Only organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status are eligible
to apply.
The
Virginia Beach Foundation awarded its first grants in 1988.
That year, $5,000.00 was awarded to six organizations. Through
May, in 2004, $669,256.00 from all sources was awarded to
116 organizations.
