The Claude Moore Charitable Foundation is recognized for initiating programs and partnerships that increase academic competence and encourage leadership especially for under-resourced populations throughout the Commonwealth but with a focus on Loudoun County.
The Foundation has two major funding opportunities. Annually, select organizations that focus on areas that support our mission and vision are invited to apply for funding for the following calendar year.
