How to use this list

A foundation is listed because its own latest tax return itemizes grants to organizations with a Alexandria, VA address. Local foundations often give mostly close to home and are usually the most realistic first prospects for a small nonprofit; large national foundations listed here may fund only a few institutions in the city. Their typical grant is the middle of the funders' own typical grants across everything they fund. Open a profile for all of a funder's grants and any application instructions.

Of these 2,481 foundations, 638 describe how to apply on their latest return; many others give only to organizations they already know. A badge such as Gave $1.2M in 2024 repeats what the latest return reports; it does not mean the foundation is accepting proposals now.

Facts on this page come from the foundation's own IRS Form 990-PF filings as published by the IRS. Grantvello does not know whether a foundation is accepting proposals right now: a past grant is not an open opportunity. Always confirm current guidelines with the funder before applying.
