Loudoun offers grant training series for nonprofits

Loudoun County continues to offer free professional development opportunities for nonprofits serving Loudoun County residents with new trainings scheduled from June to August 2025. The series of trainings are a part of a six-week cohort focused on increasing the capacity of nonprofits to strengthen their funding strategy. This will be the second cohort of this training series.

Summer 2025 Nonprofit Professional Development Grant Cohort
Nonprofit organizations that serve Loudoun County residents are encouraged to apply for the Summer 2025 Nonprofit Professional Development Grant Cohort, which will explore the various facets of grant seeking and proposal development, including federal, state, foundation and corporate grant opportunities. Participants will develop proposals in response to relevant funding opportunities over a series of four training sessions in a six-week period from June to August. At the end of the six weeks, organizations will have a complete set of standard proposal components and a tailored application package for their organization. The training is free, but space is limited to five organizations. Nonprofits working to create a systematic development program are encouraged to apply.

The Summer 2025 Nonprofit Professional Development Grant Cohort application is open from May 7 to June 6, 2025.  Descriptions of the individual sessions, a link to the cohort series application and application guidance may be found at loudoun.gov/GrantTraining.

This professional development opportunity is part of the county’s efforts to help nonprofits and their staff to develop stronger grant applications; hone the skills and knowledge needed to find, apply for and receive grants; learn from subject matter experts and their peers; and receive technical assistance on a broad range of topics.
