Description
The Lamond Fund to Benefit Children and Youth is administered by the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia and was established through a bequest from Angus Slater Lamond to the Permanent Fund for Northern Virginia. It supports nonprofits, schools, and other programs promoting the development and education of economically disadvantaged children and young people.
The fund focuses on the City of Alexandria and Fairfax County south and west of Alexandria, with a preference for the Route 1 corridor. Its work responds to geographically concentrated disparities in access to opportunities that support economic mobility and to families’ difficulties meeting basic needs. Supported services span academic achievement, out-of-school activities, basic needs, career readiness, early childhood education, and children’s English language proficiency.
