    Changing Our Tomorrows concentrates its giving on direct-service capacity-building in vulnerable communities, primarily funding domestic violence survivor services and international faith-based community development. The foundation makes sizeable, project-focused grants (notably for a new shelter and for education/economic empowerment programs) and appears to prefer working through established local and mission-driven organizations.

    About Changing Our Tomorrows

    Changing Our Tomorrows has made a repeated commitment to building and sustaining services for people in crisis, especially through domestic violence shelter work and community-based support for children and women. Its largest recent grant went to Laws Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services for construction of a new shelter in Leesburg, and that same organization also received additional program support in 2025. The foundation has also backed Bopolu United Methodist Mission Station across multiple years for educational opportunities for children and economic development for women, showing a clear pattern of funding both immediate shelter needs and longer-term community support. The grant history suggests a foundation that favors project-focused awards and works through established nonprofit and faith-based organizations. Recent grants also include support for mental health services, a backpack program at Rolling Ridge Elementary, scholarship funding, food pantry stocking, and youth education. Those awards point to a funder that is not limited to one issue area, but does return to a small set of practical service needs. Its giving is local in scope, with all reported grants going to recipients in Virginia.

    What Changing Our Tomorrows Funds

    Domestic violence shelter construction is one of the clearest themes in the portfolio. Changing Our Tomorrows gave $254,203 to Laws Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services for construction of a new shelter, then followed with $150,000 for the same purpose in a later year. It also provided $75,000 in program support to that organization in 2025. The foundation also funds services for children and families through schools and community programs. Rolling Ridge Elementary received $28,165 for its Backpack Buddies program, $20,630 and $19,222 for the same program in later grants, and $946 for art supplies. Education and livelihood work appears through faith-based partners as well. Bopolu United Methodist Mission Station received grants of $169,942, $169,825, and $133,495 to provide educational opportunities for children and help empower women through economic development. Separate awards supported college scholarships, youth education, and food pantry stocking.

    How Changing Our Tomorrows Gives

    Typical grants cluster at a modest-to-midrange level, with p25 at $11,892, a median of $28,165, and p75 at $159,912. The recent record includes both smaller operating-style awards and larger project grants, including capital support for shelter construction. Several recipients appear more than once, including Laws Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services, Bopolu United Methodist Mission Station, and Rolling Ridge Elementary, indicating recurring relationships rather than one-time gifts only. The foundation is not a donor-advised fund and does not fund individuals. Its active charitable grant cycles are open to unsolicited applications from registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.
