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.
The deadline for submitting or suggesting an organization for grant consideration was November 21, 2025.
GRANT GUIDELINES AND RECIPIENT CRITERIA
The organization must be a charitable, non-profit entity (not a private foundation) with tax exempt status under Section 501©(3) of the IRS code. Organizations will need to provide IRS Form 990.
Organizations should meet at least one of the DPW Foundation’s four areas of giving: Education, Health and Human Services, Arts and Culture, Community Service.
Organizations must be local to Navassa and/or work within 5 miles of Navassa. Organizations can be local to Brunswick County but should work within Navassa, provide a service that benefits Navassa residents, and/or use the grant to work within Navassa.
There is a strong preference for organizations to work in one of the following areas:
Jobs training and/or workforce development
Education
Environment
Note: Some types of organizations are not eligible for DWP Foundation grants. These include: religious organizations or organizations formed for religious purposes (where the main activity is for the benefit of its own members); fraternal or civic organizations; and political action or advocacy groups.
