Deadline: 15-Jan-22
The Hampton Roads Community Foundation is seeking applications for its Vibrant Places Grant Program to support major capital projects and campaigns that are transformative for the organization and the communities it serves.
They look for projects that will reduce local nonprofits’ building operating costs over the long term and minimize the negative environmental impacts associated with construction and operation.
