Community Grants

Investing in the DC Nonprofit Community
 

The District is our home, too, and with venues and facilities throughout the city, Events DC is dedicated to supporting the local non-profit community. 

To us, being a good neighbor and an active and engaged member of the community means finding ways to give back and lending our support to those on the front lines that positively impact our city.
