Arlington Nonprofits Receive Grants From Dominion's Charitable Arm

ARLINGTON, VA —Dominion Energy’s charitable foundation awarded $450,000 to dozens of nonprofit organizations in Virginia, including two in Arlington.

The grants will support essential human services, such as housing, health care and food security. Grant applications were open to eligible organizations in Virginia and the other states where Richmond-headquartered Dominion Energy operates.

In Arlington, PathForward Inc. and Arlington Free Clinic received grants to help the county's vulnerable residents.

PathForward, formerly called A-SPAN, will use the $7,500 grant to build the capacity of its Mobile Medical Program, which provides healthcare to unsheltered people in Arlington.

“With support from Dominion Energy, we will be able to improve the health outlook and quality of life for our clients who are experiencing street homelessness in our community,” Betsy Frantz, president and CEO of PathForward, said in a statement Tuesday.

Arlington Free Clinic will use its $5,000 grant for medications and vaccinations.

Through its Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation and other programs, Dominion Energy contributed nearly $50 million in 2021 to community causes. Its charitable foundation supports a variety of nonprofit causes.
