TCF’s Giving Back Guide 2024-25 features 65 local nonprofits

For those looking to donate or volunteer with Harrisonburg and Rockingham County nonprofits, look no further than the 2024-25 Giving Back Guide.

The newest edition, which was distributed in the Daily News-Record and at locations around the county in late November, is an annual publication of The Community Foundation of Harrisonburg and Rockingham.

The guide, also available online at TCF’s website, offers eligible 501(c)(3) organizations free publicity and the opportunity to share funding needs with prospective donors.

Copies are also distributed to the foundation’s Professional Partners in Philanthropy, other area financial advisors and those in wealth management services.

“Reading through this guide reminds us all that the smallest monetary gift can still make a difference,” said Senior Director of Grants and Scholarships Ann Siciliano. “We really try hard to get this resource into the hands of the many people in this community who value philanthropy and who are looking for ways to give back.”

The guides are also used throughout the year in the foundation office to inform fundholders and those who call in with inquiries about local need.

View or download the online Giving Back Guide.

Find the guide at our office at 317 South Main Street in Harrisonburg, at Massanutten Regional Library locations in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, the Daily News-Record office, and the Dayton Farmer’s Market.

Each one-page profile includes a brief history of the organization, a mission statement, contact information, and a specific project with line-item dollar amounts. Organizations can also list other funding needs.

The Giving Back Guide is an outgrowth of the foundation’s annual grants cycle, which opens from July 1-Sept. 1.

“This publication grew from the realization several years ago that organizations were doing a lot of work to fill out these applications and that the information they provided could be a valuable directory for the community,” Siciliano said. “We’re constantly adapting our processes to meet community needs, and are already making plans to simplify next year’s application process.”

Sixty-eight nonprofits are featured in the guide this year.
