PROFILE: Established in 2003, the Peninsula Community Foundation of Virginia (PCFV) is a community foundation based in Hampton, Virginia. This is when local community leaders came together to discuss the area’s many challenges and how they could help. The foundation aims to "provide individuals and organizations with opportunities to invest in the Virginia Peninsula and improve the quality of life for its citizens.” PCFV funds local efforts for early childhood development, neighborhood development, homelessness and health.
The Peninsula Community Foundation of Virginia primarily awards general operating support in the local community. One big priority here is early childhood development to address the local poverty rates, mortality rates and health issues among children. Neighborhood revitalization grants help make local neighborhoods safer and improve physical structures. PCFV also works to fight homelessness by providing grants for emergency housing and rental assistance. PCFV’s Give Local 757 initiative is an effort to grow local philanthropy and raise unrestricted funds.
Grants range between about $5,000 and $50,000. Learn more about this funder’s local giving by examining its recent tax records. Grantmaking focuses on Hampton and the Peninsula area of Virginia. Past local grantees include the Peninsula Fine Arts Center, Elite Community Outreach Corp. and Young Life of the Peninsula.
This foundation does not accept unsolicited grant applications from nonprofits and does not share grantmaking guidelines or deadlines on its website. Direct general questions to the PCFV staff at pcfvirginia@gmail.com or 757-327-0862.
