Better Together

Better Together is a year-round funding opportunity that provides $2,500 to cover the costs of supplies, materials, meals, etc. in support of community-facing events that bring people together.

Eligible nonprofits are encouraged to apply and to collaborate with other groups, individuals, or funding partners to maximize impact of community-facing events.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Organizations eligible for consideration must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, religious institution, or local government entity serving Fauquier, Rappahannock, or Culpeper counties.
• Events must be held within six months of submission. Requests cannot backfill already incurred costs. Only one Better Together event will be funded per organization annually.
• Fundraising cannot be the sole purpose of the event.
• Requests must be consistent with the mission, vision, and values of the PATH Foundation.

Example: First Baptist Church, in Warrenton, hosted a Back-to-School Fun Night where community members engaged in fellowship, food, and fun—including arts and crafts, games, painting, jewelry making, and a school supply giveaway. Fauquier and surrounding counties’ residents were invited to attend, as well as neighbors in close proximity to the church and families at the local shelter.
