“Neighbors in Need Fund” Awards $450K+ to Area Charities Providing Critical Safety-Net Services

With experts predicting a recession both long and deep, the Fund will support immediate and long-term needs. Some grants will continue to help food banks stock their shelves and shelters house more homeless people, and other grants will help strengthen the internal operations of nonprofit agencies throughout the Washington, DC region. “Almost by definition, nonprofits are fragile organizations,” Freeman continues, “and it's no more ‘business as usual.’ The Neighbors in Need Fund will help our nonprofits become stronger, smarter, more efficient, and open to greater collaboration so that they can weather this storm -- and future ones, too.”
