🎉 Great news: Community Grants for Economic Stability and Health & Wellness are available NOW!

Economic Stability grants help to create the conditions for children to learn and grow, strengthen an individual’s resolve to pursue hopes and dreams, and reduce the anxiety and stressors that accompany economic insecurity. The Foundation supports programs that address ending homelessness, workforce readiness training and connecting low-income people to employment, as well as development of sound financial education and savings programs to help low-income individuals build financial assets.

Health & Wellness grants focus on improving the health of the region's citizens. The Foundation supports programs that support participant access to primary, dental, and/or mental/behavioral health, as well as programs that encourage healthy behaviors that are known to reduce chronic diseases (such as Type II diabetes, heart disease, and lung disease) in populations that typically have a high rate of health disparity.

Tony Brothers travels the country as a referee for the NBA.
But his home is in Norfolk’s East Beach, and his heart lies with philanthropy in Hampton Roads. That’s one of the reasons he is a founding member of Visionaries for Change, the Foundation’s giving circle to support charitable causes in the Black community.

“I’m having that direct connection into the Black Community,” Brothers said. “That’s what makes this special. It’s Black people helping Black people.”

We built relationships and community during this year's Peacemaking Circles. Nearly 100 participants came together to discuss systemic racism and its consequences, learning and listening to each other in a safe and welcoming environment. They concluded the circles Tuesday by contributing a meaningful item to communicate their experience through art, leaving quotes, flowers and photos as mementos of their experience. Thanks to all who participated in the circles, and special thanks to YWCA South Hampton Roads and FSBC - Freemason Street Baptist Church for joining us on the journey.
