What is VoicesDMV?
VoicesDMV is a community engagement initiative designed to help philanthropy, community leaders, policymakers, and others understand the diverse experiences of the people who live and work in the Greater Washington region. VoicesDMV uplifts community voice and informs community investments by The Community Foundation and our partners to better address community needs.
VoicesDMV consists of:
Conducted in partnership with Gallup, the VoicesDMV Community Insights Report presents findings from a comprehensive survey of residents from across the region. The report is designed to better understand how residents are doing, what challenges they are facing, what their hopes and dreams for the future are, and how they view important issues including homelessness, safety, economic issues, and much more.
The VoicesDMV Community Action Awards provide grants to nonprofits working to make our region more equitable and inclusive by addressing issues and challenges highlighted in the Community Insights report. Meet our 2024 Community Action Award Partners!
The VoicesDMV Fellowship supports individuals deeply rooted in our priority areas to facilitate deeper engagement between The Community Foundation, residents, and organizations in the priority areas to ensure authentic community voice is at the center of our work.
