ABOUT THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
At The Community Foundation of Harrisonburg & Rockingham County, we make it easy to give back to the community we all love through comprehensive and trusted charitable giving.
Giving made easy.
We partner with donors, professional advisors and nonprofits to fund local needs through community endowments and support to charities. By expertly managing these funds in-house or with local financial advisors, we’re able to power the arts, faith-based initiatives, environmental grants, human services, domestic and wildlife animal organizations and educational initiatives that help to strengthen our community and
make it a vibrant place to live and work.
Great Community Give is an initiative that pursues our mission because it enables people who love their community to easily give back to local causes. Whether you donate $10, $20, $100 or more, it adds up to an incredible day of support for the nonprofits that meet needs, enrich our lives, and build a community we all enjoy.

V2V will be using funds from the Great Community Give for facilitating not only moving refugee families into their homes but hosting meals once a month for local refugee families, purchasing resources for cleaning training for families and emergency needs that may come up. We continue to provide most of what families need when they initially move into their homes like furniture, clothes, dishes, hygiene items and more We have been able to provide assistance with funding for paperwork to Ukrainian families over the past few months and will continue to do what we can to help them get settled
Heidi Dove DirectorAlliance for the Shenandoah Valley
Alliance for the Shenandoah Valley is so grateful to the Community Foundation and to the generous community members who make Great Community Give such a success. The funds that we raised in 2022 are helping to make possible our work in Rockingham County—guiding future growth to towns and cities and protecting our working farmland and forests in the countryside. Rockingham-based Kim Sandum is deeply engaged in local land use planning and transportation decisions because of community support. We look forward to participating again in 2023!

Valley Area Swim Team
Our team is grateful for the community support we've received the last several years during the Great Community Give The funds raised have been used to provide scholarships for swimmers in need, both in clinics and the year-round team, as well as purchase equipment for clinic swimmers to keep their fees down We continue to work toward joining with other non-profits to provide swim instruction for those in our community who have a financial need and develop a scholarship program that will allow as many children as possible to develop a lifelong love for Swimming.
