Grant Opportunity for Navassa-Area Nonprofits

 

As part of the Multistate Trust’s work to reinvest in the community, we have partnered with Envirocon, Inc. to recommend two local organizations for Dennis & Phyllis Washington (DPW) Foundation grants. Envirocon, the Multistate Trust’s prime contractor for the 2025 additional OU2 cleanup work, has committed to awarding DPW Foundation grants of $10,000 each to two organizations dedicated to supporting and benefiting the Navassa community.  

Use the form below to submit your organization for consideration or to suggest a local organization you believe could benefit from the grant.

Submissions and supporting documentation are due by 8:00 p.m. on Friday, November 21, 2025. Grant awards are expected to be announced in December 2025.
