PATH Foundation Announces more than $740,000 in Awarded Grants

January 24, 2019 — The PATH Foundation has announced General Operations grants totaling $748,306.50 to 26 organizations serving Fauquier, Rappahannock and northern Culpeper Counties.

“General Operations grants were designed with area nonprofits in mind. We recognize that general operations funds are crucial to any organization, but they can be difficult to obtain,” Christy Connolly, president and CEO of the PATH Foundation. “With this grant cycle, we aim to help alleviate the pressure to secure funding, and to encourage these organizations to thrive as they demonstrate excellence in their operations.”

Grants were awarded to organizations related to one or more of the PATH Foundation’s four areas of focus: access to care, childhood wellness, mental health and senior services and awardees were selected based on adherence to best practices related to governance, finance, public disclosure and programming principles, as well as their commitment to strategic planning.

“We are fortunate that so many excellent nonprofits call this area home,” Senior Programs Officer Andy Johnston said. “These organizations pursue their missions with hard work and effective practices, and serve as great examples that any nonprofit, regardless of size, can aspire to. By funding general operations, PATH can recognize and empower organizations that are committed to a high standard. We are already looking forward to recognizing even more nonprofits for doing so in the coming years.”

The following 26 organizations were awarded General Operations grants:
