neighborhood we love
making a difference for the
For over 30 years, Capitol Hill residents and businesses have joined together to build our community foundation.
“Philanthropy” is often understood to be large gifts by wealthy donors. In our neighborhood, philanthropy is redefined as many more modest contributions of time and money. All these donations from neighbors add up.
Funded entirely by annual donations from members and friends of the community, the Foundation proudly directs every dollar contributed to grants. All administrative costs are covered by the members of the Board of Directors. More than $11million has been raised and distributed to our community in grants.
