In celebration of its 20th anniversary advancing local philanthropy, The Community Foundation of the Rappahannock River Region is offering a special grant cycle in 2017, distributing a total of $80,000.
Four grants of $20,000 each will be awarded in four categories:
– Environment

Proposals must directly benefit the communities of Fredericksburg, Caroline, King George, Stafford or Spotsylvania.
