Community Support
Community is at the core of what we do. Beyond the financial role we play, we are committed to ensuring everyone in our region not only has access to quality affordable housing, but also to services, programs, and amenities that enhance their quality of life. To that end we have created programs to support like-minded nonprofits and special grants to fund initiatives aimed at creating and maintaining vibrant communities for all residents.
How We Support
Vern Henley Special Initiatives Grant
Named for the President, Chairman and CEO of Consolidated Bank and Trust, the first minority-owned and operated bank in the United States, this grant gives our partners and potential partners up to $8,000 in funds for special initiatives for those residing in affordable housing in our service area. From computer lab equipment to library supplies, career planning programs and playground equipment - this fund is dedicated to enhancing the quality for residents of affordable housing.
Mission Elevation Program
The Mission Elevation program is designed for nonprofits with a mission to make communities a better place for all residents in Virginia and the surrounding regions. The program will help you to step back and identify or refine the top challenge facing your organization and support you by providing individual coaching, peer group support and applied tools and frameworks to help you achieve both mission-impact and organizational results.
In uncertain times, addressing ever-changing needs and maintaining a strong, sustainable organization presents significant challenges. If your team is struggling to adapt in this dynamic environment - this program is for you.
“Mission Elevation is a wonderful opportunity that will change your organization. On a regular basis I share some one or other of our leadership learnings and thought processes with other nonprofit leaders. ”
