Maximize the impact of your charitable giving today and into the future.

You can make an immediate difference by making a donation directly to The Community Foundation or to one of our many component funds established for specific charitable purposes.

Your donations enable The Community Foundation and our nonprofit partners to respond to critical community needs now and in the future.

Donating to a fund at The Community Foundation is both easy and secure. You can use this page to make a secure online gift via our Classy donation portal or find other ways to give.

The Greater Washington Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity. All gifts to The Community Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Copies of our IRS determination letter and financial statements are available here.

All donations to The Community Foundation are subject to our Terms & Conditions for Component Funds. Our Board of Trustees maintains the legal authority to redirect funds if their original purpose becomes obsolete or impossible to fulfill. This ensures your charitable giving remains effective forever, even as community needs change. For restricted funds, we honor your original intent unless circumstances make it impossible to do so, in which case we direct funds to the nearest similar purpose. In making a gift with The Community Foundation, you agree to this provision.
