Grants

The Closet distributes its surplus revenues to local 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations that are working to strengthen the fabric of Northern Virginia communities. We welcome grant applications from local organizations that create positive change in Fairfax and Loudoun Counties by improving the lives of people in need. Grants typically range from $500 to $5,000 and are dependent on The Closet having surplus revenues to distribute. Since The Closet’s founding in 1974, over $2.5M has been distributed as grants.

Applications should include information regarding the organization’s mission, the geographic area supported by the organization, the grant amount being requested, and how the requested grant would be used to support the community. Including a brochure or other information regarding the organization and its support to the Northern Virginia community is highly encouraged.

Grant applications should be submitted by the last day of March, June, September, and December from local 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations that serve low income and at-risk individuals and families of Fairfax and Loudoun Counties. The Closet will review the request and respond by the end of the following month. The applications should be emailed to theclosetinc@verizon.net, as well as sent in hardcopy to:
