As the wealthiest region in the country, we have a
special responsibility – individually and collectively –
to respond to the needs of our community. The beauty
of The Community Foundation is it allows donors to
join with others to strengthen our region in measurable
and sustainable ways for the benefit of all of our
residents. I have experienced the power of this
community of donors firsthand. When the recession
hit, I helped launch a Neighbors in Need campaign
regionally and in Montgomery County, mobilizing
philanthropy to support families in crisis.” ­– Donor Cliff White
About THE
CO MMUN ITY FOUND ATIO N
Since its founding nearly four decades ago, The Community Foundation has helped its neighbors
in need by promoting and supporting effective giving and finding innovative solutions to the
region’s most challenging problems. A “community of givers,” The Community Foundation is
made up of individuals, families, corporations and organizations who have established more
than 800 charitable-giving funds with assets totaling more than $340 million. In FY2012, the
Foundation and its donors awarded $70 million in grants to nonprofit organizations in the
Greater Washington region and beyond, with an emphasis on helping the region’s residents
achieve economic security through education, workforce development and safety net services.
Additionally, our donors supported many nonprofit organizations ranging from the arts to the
environment. For more information about The Community Foundation for the National Capital
Region including its regional affiliates – The Community Foundation for Montgomery County and

Letter FROM
THE PRESIDENT AND CHAIR
The theme of this year’s Annual Report, “Coming Together to
Catalyze Change,” not only captures our mission but also addresses
the urgency of our efforts at this moment in time.
Never before has there been such an overwhelming need for our
community of givers – individuals, families and organizations – to
come together to increase economic security for all residents of the
Washington region. Our philanthropic efforts take on a new urgency
as local and state governments continue to cut programs that
impact no-, low- and middle-income residents already hit hard by the
recession.
Together, we are catalyzing change by strengthening the region’s
safety net, investing in strategies that increase the percentage
of youth who graduate from high school ready for post-secondary
activities and supporting effective workforce development programs
that provide workers both increased skills and marketable
credentials.
Investing in the safety net, education reform and workforce
development is the cornerstone of our short- and long-term
commitment to ensure that all residents have a fair shot at our
region’s prosperity. That was what the founders of The Community
Foundation had in mind nearly 40 years ago and it is what our evergrowing community of givers is committed to today. In the words
of longtime partner Viki Betancourt of the World Bank: “In a time
of tremendous economic uncertainty, The Community Foundation
has provided resolute and responsible leadership in the local
metropolitan region. They have inspired others in the community to
address regional challenges by providing the opportunity, as well as
the leadership, to collaborate on solutions.” From left, Vice President of Philanthropic
Services Angela Jones Hackley; Board of
Trustees Chair David Bradt; President Terri
Lee Freeman; and CFO & Vice President of
Professional Services Mark Hansen.

The past year was filled with examples of those collective efforts. From residents who looked in on neighbors
during Tropical Storm Katia to the anonymous donor who offered to match contributions up to $300,000 to
our Neighbors in Need Fund. From the board member who purchased beds for a local shelter to another who
mobilizes his employees to volunteer at nonprofits that serve underprivileged youth. In the following pages, we
highlight our donors and grantees; many others are profiled throughout the year on our website.
As we look ahead to our 40th anniversary in 2013, we pause to thank our dedicated board members,
hard-working staff and the thousands of donors and nonprofits in the District of Columbia, Maryland and
Virginia who, over four decades, have committed themselves to catalyzing change and creating a stable,
healthy and vibrant community for all.
Sincerely,
Terri Lee Freeman

COMING TOGETHER TO CATALYZE CHANGE
Accomplishments FY 2012
The Community Foundation’s Neighbors in Need Fund
exceeded $5 million thanks to the generosity of our
donors and funding partners. The Foundation has
distributed more than $4.7 million in grants to 118
safety-net providers who are providing food, shelter,
clothing, foreclosure prevention and healthcare in
our community. For example, the Fund supported the
basic needs of hundreds of thousands of adults and
children in the region; prevented hundreds of people
from losing their homes; and supported the firstever coordination of safety-net budget advocacy on a
jurisdictional and regional level, preserving $45 million
in public funding throughout the region.
The Foundation and its funding partners launched a
new program to help three local hospitals develop
the skilled workforce they need to provide high-quality
care, while helping healthcare workers advance
their careers. “Career Navigators” is an initiative
of the Greater Washington Regional Alliance for
Careers in Health (ReACH), a group of philanthropic
funders, employers and others who came together to
address pressing healthcare workforce challenges.
The Community Foundation’s Greater Washington
Workforce Development Collaborative provides
financial support. The initiative was developed to
help healthcare employers create career paths so
entry-level staff (such as those working in food
service, environmental service, and patient transport)
can advance into in-demand healthcare occupations.
The Community Foundation continued its ongoing
commitment to Putting Race on the Table, hosting
a discussion with national experts and sponsoring a
series of neighborhood tours in conjunction with the
Smithsonian exhibition, “RACE: Are We So Different?”
After learning about racial inequities in the region and
around the country from national experts, Foundation
donors participated in tours to the changing
neighborhood along the H Street Corridor NE; the
Port Towns in Prince George’s County to learn about
initiatives aimed at promoting a healthy community;
Fairfax County, Virginia, to hear about efforts to
close the education achievement gap; and Wheaton,
Maryland, a community in transition.

The Community Foundation was the local funding
sponsor of a new community-wide initiative, Serving
Together: Troops, Veterans and Family Care Project.
(See related article, page 8).
The Community Foundation and Walmart announced
$1.25 million in multi-year workforce development
grants, as a part of the Foundation’s Walmart
Washington@Work Initiative. The grants are helping
D.C. residents get the skills and training they need
to find employment in customer service and retail
sectors. Grants were awarded to Carlos Rosario
International Public Charter School, Covenant House
Washington, Goodwill of Greater Washington, Latin
American Youth Center and So Others Might Eat’s
Center for Employment Training.
The Community Foundation’s role in managing the
September 11 Survivors’ Fund was described by
President Terri Lee Freeman in a Washington Post
op-ed on the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks:
“The Survivors’ Fund represents philanthropy at its
best. At the same time, the philanthropic spirit lives
on in our community. I see it every day, as folks step
in to help victims of floods and hurricanes, and those
struggling through the economic crisis. The Survivors’
Fund taught us many lessons as a community about
emergency preparedness and recovery. For me, it
is the ongoing generosity of neighbors helping total
strangers that is the richest lesson of all.”
In partnership with United Way of the National
Capital Area and Razoo, The Community Foundation
sponsored Give to the Max Day: Greater Washington.
Using a web-based approach pioneered by Razoo,
residents of Greater Washington came together
on Nov. 9 to raise more than $2 million for area
nonprofits in a 24-hour period. The massive first-ever
community-wide fundraising campaign provided funding
for nonprofits of all kinds during tough economic times
and in the face of government cuts and helped them
engage with residents of all ages and income levels
from throughout the region – including millennial and
other digital savvy donors.

Our regional affiliate, The Community Foundation for
Montgomery County, marked its 15th anniversary
at the 2011 Celebration of Giving where 500 guests
honored Jeffrey Z. Slavin as “Montgomery County
“Philanthropist of the Year.” The Montgomery
County affiliate has experienced significant growth
in recent years, and has developed an extraordinary
community of donors committed to “give where they
live,” in the County and across the region. In the past
year, dozens of donors served on rotating grants
committees of “Sharing Montgomery,” the affiliate’s
discretionary giving program that gave more than
$600,000 to programs focused on the safety net,
education and workforce in the County. With a special
anonymous donor challenge grant in honor of the 15th
anniversary, the Advisory Board and staff have built
Sharing Montgomery’s Endowment to $1.5 million in
assets. Thanks to this increased donor involvement,
about $5 million, or about 10% of The Community
Foundation for the National Capital Region’s total
giving last year, was given in grants to Montgomery
County nonprofits from all donor and discretionary
funds. This increased philanthropy provides critical
support in a county where poverty has skyrocketed to
include 100,000 adults, many of whom are families
with young children. Montgomery County now has the
third highest number of low-income residents in the
Washington region, after Prince George’s and Fairfax
Counties.
Philanthropists Vicki and Roger Sant – who have
created lasting improvements to this community
by investing in cleaning up the Anacostia River and
preventing teen pregnancy – and four “unsung heroes”
were honored at The Community Foundation’s annual
Celebration of Civic Spirit. The four recipients of
the Linowes Leadership Awards were Lidya Abune,
Student Advocate for Language Access, Coolidge
Senior High School; Julia Irving, Community Liaison
and Outreach Coordinator, Metropolitan Police
Department of the District of Columbia, Sixth District;
Catalina Sol, Chief Program Officer and HIV/AIDS
Advocate and Champion, La Clínica del Pueblo; and
Maceo Thomas, Ward 7 Community Activist and
Resident.
This year, The Community Foundation for Prince
George’s County, a regional affiliate, gave more
than $180,300 from its discretionary grantmaking
programs, which are focused on education, safety
net and workforce initiatives. By providing grants,
building awareness, leveraging dollars and providing
leadership, the Foundation helped policymakers
better understand and make decisions about
important county issues. For instance, the Foundation
sponsored a study that provides critical baseline data
about the county’s nonprofit sector and the needs
of low income residents and convened community
leaders around education, foreclosure prevention and
health disparities. The first Socratic Forum Series
provided donors, educators, community leaders and
elected officials an opportunity to discuss, dissect,
educate and generate ideas and action around
public education. Findings from the forum informed
the Foundation’s new strategy which is designed to
increase public engagement in education reform and
student achievement in the County. The Foundation
awarded its 2011 Civic Leadership Awards to Lewis
A. Robinson of the Prince George’s County Educators
Association; Washington Post columnist Michele
Singletary; and NAI Michael Companies. Bridge
Builders Awards, honoring those who help the county’s
most vulnerable populations, were presented to
Samuel J. Parker of Envision Prince George’s; E. Kim
Rhim of The Training Source; and Marti Worshtil of The
Prince George’s Child Resource Center.
...the philanthropic spirit lives on in our community. I see it every
day, as folks step in to help victims of floods and hurricanes, and
those struggling through the economic crisis.” – Terri Lee Freeman

JOHN TERRY BEATY
“I like to work hard, play hard,” says John Terry Beaty,
who is serious about his work (as an investment
advisor to high net worth individuals), his hobbies
(tennis, sailing, reading) and his philanthropy. Terry
and his wife, Anne Mehringer, have had a family fund
for many years at The Community Foundation. They
use it to invest in issues they care deeply about –
such as education and strengthening the safety net –
and focus most of their giving in this region.
“One thing that drew me to The Community
Foundation originally is its focus on the community
we live in,” says Beaty, who lives in the oldest
house in Montgomery County dating to 1700. “The
Foundation’s staff have strong relationships with
hundreds of nonprofits and provides invaluable
guidance in matching donors to groups that are a good
fit for them and that meet their giving objectives.”
Their top priority is education. “Anne and I both were
incredibly fortunate to have wonderful educations –
it’s the most important investment you can make.
That is why we invest in organizations that help
promising students go as far as they can, such as DC
Prep and The SEED Foundation.”
They also support groups that provide direct
emergency services to people who need it the most,
such as the Capital Area Food Bank and Martha’s
Table –“well-run organizations with strong leadership
serving neighborhoods and neighbors that are not
participating in the prosperity of our region,” he
says. The couple donates directly to human services
organizations and to the Foundation’s Neighbors in
Need Fund and Neighbors in Need Montgomery. (The
Foundation launched the Neighbors in Need Fund four
years ago to mobilize its strong and growing network
of donors to respond to the economic crisis in the
most effective and timely way.) Beaty supported
the concept of an emergency fund with a fast track
capability from the beginning. “We were among the
original supporters and continue to support Neighbors
in Need – because we are a long way from being out
of the woods,” he says.

As a member of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees
who serves as chair of its Investment Committee,
Beaty aims to produce the best investment returns
for The Community Foundation’s central fund,
“consistent with the kind of risk that’s appropriate
for a charitable organization that is investing other
people’s money.” Beaty says he appreciates that the
minimal administrative fees donors pay go back into
the community and, over the years, has recommended
the Foundation to dozens of his clients and friends.

EUGENE AND MICHELLE PROFIT
Investor, entrepreneur, philanthropist and former
American football cornerback, Eugene Profit is
founder of Profit Investment Management, one of the
largest African-American-owned wealth management
companies in the nation. He also serves on the
Advisory Board of The Community Foundation for
Montgomery County.
In a recent profile in The Washington Post, he was
described as using “speed and smarts to get off the
Los Angeles streets, earn an Ivy League degree and
play pro football, and then launched a successful
money-management firm that earns him a far bigger
paycheck than the ones he got from the New England
Patriots and Washington Redskins.”

“help me put a face to grant requests,” she says.
Having grown up in the Washington area, Michelle
says, “I like being able to give back to a community
that has been such a big part of my life and is where
our business is headquartered.” Adds Eugene: “I’m
a big proponent of giving kids opportunities and
experiences. It’s a sweet spot for me.”
“At the busiest phase of family and work life, Michelle
and Eugene Profit still find the time for meaningful
philanthropy,” said Sally Rudney, Director of The
Community Foundation for Montgomery County. “We
hope many other couples follow their lead.”
In 2006, Eugene and his wife Michelle created
the Profit Charitable Foundation at The Community
Foundation for Montgomery County, their donoradvised fund that supports educational opportunities
for low-income youth and other programs. In addition,
both Eugene and Michelle foster a commitment
to giving back through their company. Last fall,
they found a fun way to take Profit Investment
Management’s philanthropy to a new level. At its
first annual Golf Classic, the Profits brought together
clients, corporate partners and friends in support
of two good causes they personally care about:
“Blessings in a Backpack” and Sharing Montgomery.
“Blessings” provides a weekend supply of food for
elementary school children from low-income families
who rely on free and reduced meals they receive
during the school week. Sharing Montgomery is a
strategic funding effort of The Community Foundation
for Montgomery County that is focused on the needs
of low-income children, families and seniors in the
County. Stewarded by donor-led grants committees
and Foundation staff, Sharing Montgomery makes
grants to support some of the best nonprofits serving
the County’s most vulnerable neighbors.
“As the parents of five daughters – ages 7 to 23
– we know what it takes to raise a child,” says
Michelle, who serves on the Sharing Montgomery
and Neighbors in Need Montgomery committees. In
that role she has visited a variety of nonprofits, from

There are countless nonprofits in the District. I don’t know which
are of lasting value, or not, but The Community Foundation staff
does. That expertise is the reason I set up my fund.”
– Donor Marian Osterweis
MARIAN OSTERWEIS
When Marian Osterweis inherited money from her
mother’s estate in 2010, tax attorney Nancy Fax –
who specializes in estate and trust administration and
is on the advisory board of The Community Foundation
for Montgomery County – suggested Osterweis set up
a donor-advised fund at The Community Foundation.
Osterweis was no stranger to community foundations.
Her late parents had a fund at The Community
Foundation of Sarasota County when they lived in
Florida.
“My parents were serious and generous donors,” she
says, “even when they didn’t have much to give.” Over
the years, Osterweis continued their legacy of giving,
contributing to environmental and health-related
causes and arts organizations, including the Levine
School of Music where she is a board member and
champion of the group’s involvement in the community
and commitment to scholarship support.
Having recently retired from a career devoted to
public health and health policy, she was interested in
focusing her attention on the District, where she has
lived since 1968. Osterweis had two goals: “I wanted
to give more, and give more wisely.” Since setting
up her fund last year, she has joined The Community
Foundation’s D.C. Office Advisory Board and Linowes
Leadership Award Committee and has learned
about the many challenges facing residents of her
hometown. “The District’s needs are enormous,” she
says. “I’ve known that for years, but now I’m getting to
know about the solutions as well as the challenges.”
For instance, the D.C. Advisory Board recently visited
N Street Village, the largest provider of womenonly services for D.C.’s homeless population. “I
am embarrassed I never knew about this place,”
Osterweis says. Members heard from women working
to get their lives back on track. “N Street – very wisely
– not only provides housing but every imaginable
social service from health and wellness to financial
management to job training,” Osterweis observed. “It
blew me away.”
On another occasion, members toured the Maya
Angelou Public Charter Schools which specializes in
serving disconnected youth, young people who do

not have formal relationships with the educational
or workforce systems in the city. “After touring the
school and meeting with the principal, teachers and
students, we got a sense of the place far beyond what
you learn from reading a brochure or visiting a web
site,” she points out. “This is a school where 90% of
its graduates are accepted into college – which is far
beyond many other D.C. public schools.”
Osterweis is increasingly interested in improving
educational outcomes in the District, but also has an
interest in workforce development and in community
health programs. “There are countless nonprofits in
the District,” she says. “I don’t know which are of
lasting value, or not, but The Community Foundation
staff does. That expertise is the reason I set up my
fund.”
Confidence in the Foundation staff and a commitment
to the Foundation’s major initiatives is the reason
Osterweis has decided to make an annual donation to
the organization’s Community Leadership Fund. “With
every ‘field trip,’ every meeting, I learn something new,”
she says. “Yet, I’ll never know as much as the staff!”

THE PARTNERSHIP FOR PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY
The story of the Partnership for Prince George’s
County is the story of how local and regional funders
came together to establish a network of sustainable
organizations to make a measurable difference
in the lives of families and communities in Prince
George’s County. In addition to the Community
Foundation for Prince George’s County, other investors
include The Morris & Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation,
Community First Fund, Consumer Health Foundation,
the Estate of Leo H. Naughton, Fannie Mae, Freddie
Mac Foundation, The Philip L. Graham Fund, Kaiser
Permanente, Eugene and Agnes E. Meyer Foundation,
Starr Foundation, John T. and Margaret B. Stewart
Fund, United Way of the National Capital Area,
Wachovia Foundation, Washington Area Women’s
Foundation, Washington Regional Association of
Grantmakers and World Bank.
“Unlike neighboring jurisdictions, Prince George’s
has a relatively smaller and younger nonprofit sector
serving our community, yet we are a community faced
with increasing demand for services,” says Amina
Anderson, Senior Program Officer of The Community
Foundation for Prince George’s County. “In fact, 81%
of nonprofits based in the county are below $25,000
in annual revenue.”
With this troubling trend in mind, the Partnership set
out to strengthen the nonprofit sector in the county
by investing in areas that build the core capacities
of nonprofit organizations such as strategic planning
and fundraising, advocacy efforts and learning
opportunities to help nonprofit leaders develop new
skills and share best practices with each other.
“We are focused on addressing issues that prevent
community growth,” says Anderson. “For instance,
if we don’t have a strong safety net now to address
complex issues such as hunger and housing, we
will see generations of people dealing with poverty
well into the future. Providing equity, access and
opportunity to education and living wage jobs are also
critical to the well being of the entire community. The
child who drops out of school this year might be the
one who finds a cure for cancer. All children deserve
an opportunity to achieve their full potential and are
worth investing in.”

Strong communities need strong leaders so the
Partnership for Prince George’s recently launched
LEAD (Leaders Engaged in Achieving Development),
a year-long leadership development program. The
training complemented capacity building grants the
groups received from the Partnership. Participants in
the inaugural class of LEAD included Centro de Apoyo
Familiar, Community Advocates for Family and Youth,
First Generation College Bound, Heart to Hand and
The Mid-Atlantic Gleaning Network.
“We may be a small organization, but we have to know
how to do all the same things that General Motors
knows how to do,” said Mid-Atlantic Gleaning Network
Founder and Director Thomas Chandler. “This grant
has helped to move us along.”
“We are a more focused goal-oriented organization
with defined measurements and plans,” said
Community Advocates for Family and Youth President
and CEO Arleen Joell. “We came away with a stronger,
more involved board, and a clearer, more positive
message to use in raising money.”
These organizations now join a growing list of more
than 40 nonprofits that have received Partnership
grants, and more than 500 nonprofit organizations
that have participated in the Partnership’s programs.
We are focused on addressing issues that prevent community growth”

INVESTING IN THE SAFETY NET:
Serving Together
A more effective and collaborative system of services
for military families in Montgomery County is the
result of a partnership between Mental Health
Association of Montgomery County (MHA) and
national and local funders, including The Community
Foundation. This new model of care is coordinating
and strengthening community-based resources for
troops, veterans and their families and improving
access to a range of health, mental health and other
support services in the county. Serving Together:
Troops, Veterans and Family Care Project is made
possible by a four-year $500,000 grant from the
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation––the nation’s
largest funder dedicated to improving health and
health care for all Americans, and matching dollars
from local funders. The project is an initiative of MHA,
in collaboration with other community partners.
assisted MHA with establishing an information and
resource helpline (301-738-7176) and published a
pamphlet to connect military families with existing
resources. These resources will prove valuable as the
county-wide network of services is improved through
Serving Together.
“Mental Health Association really models working
beyond its own walls in order to do what is best for
the larger community,” said Hope Gleicher, Director of
Nonprofit Montgomery.
Serving Together represents the latest example
in MHA’s five and a half decades-long history of
identifying the county’s most pressing challenges and
bringing the community together to create solutions.
“I can’t think of a better organization to lead this
effort than Mental Health Association, with its long
history and track record in the community and its
current focus on the needs of military families in
Montgomery County,” said Community Foundation
President Terri Lee Freeman.
“By optimizing the use of resources, streamlining
the way we deliver services and ultimately improving
health outcomes for troops, veterans and their family
members, Montgomery County will serve as a model
for this region and communities across the country,”
said Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett, who
is a Vietnam War veteran.

INVESTING IN EDUCATION:
Empower DC
“Empower DC is an organization this community has
needed for a long time,” says parent and community
organizer Sequnely Gray.
Empower DC provides low- and moderate-income
residents of Washington, D.C., with grassroots
organizing and leadership development training so
they can advocate and ultimately improve their quality
of life. While Empower traditionally has engaged
parents, a recent merger with the nonprofit Youth
Education Alliance (YEA) expanded its cadre of
community organizers to include students. The result
is an intergenerational model of organizing.
Community Foundation President Terri Lee Freeman
calls the group “one of the strongest community
organizing groups in the District, with a history of wins
in such areas as tenant rights, preserving community
property and quality, affordable childcare.”
Improving public education is the latest challenge
being addressed by the organization. That campaign
was launched in late 2009 with multi-year support
from the Collaborative for Education Organizing. The
education campaign has led to a number of significant
outcomes in the past year.
For instance, Empower has engaged parents and
students in fighting D.C. school closures, has
identified alternatives to evaluating schools on the
basis of test scores and enrollment, and involved
parents and students in shaping and advocating for
educational policies that lead to positive educational
outcomes.
Organizing efforts at Bruce Monroe Elementary
School resulted in a commitment of $11 million for
phase one and two modernization – representing a $6
million increase over the city’s original commitment.
When River Terrace Elementary School was scheduled
to close in the summer 2011, Empower worked
with parents and community members to mobilize
more than 200 people to advocate for the school to
remain open – which it did for another year. Empower
continues to engage the community in discussions
relating to the future of the building. Ongoing efforts are focused on outreach and
education to school communities that are at risk of
being closed based on recommendations that grew
out of a study earlier this year requested by D.C.
Mayor Gray. Most of the schools are in Wards 7 and
8. Already, Empower has mobilized 300 parents and
community members who are working to ensure
residents have a voice in any future decisions relating
to the school buildings.
“True reform of DCPS will only start when the District
government and school officials do something that
hasn’t been done in my living memory – heed the
wishes of the communities that they represent and
support schools in Wards 7 and 8 with the same rigor
as they support the traditional public schools in the
wealthier wards west of the Anacostia,” said Liane
Scott, Director of the organization’s Grassroots Media
Project and a DCPS parent.
Those communities are increasingly speaking up – and
being heard. When the D.C. City Council considered
the future of Webb Elementary School in Ward 5, a
group of young people ages four to 11 testified that
they want the vacant school to be converted into a
community center with programs for youth and job
training programs for adults. “Imagine how it felt for
these young people to know they have a voice in the
decision-making,” says Empower DC Co-founder and
Executive Director Parisa Norouzi.
With your support we have touched hundreds of parents and
students. With your investment we are beginning to address the
underlying problems.” ­– Empower DC Co-founder and Executive Director Parisa Norouzi

INVESTING IN WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT:
Northern Virginia Family Service
Without skills and credentials needed for good jobs,
life can be precarious. Lydia, a native of Ghana
who immigrated to the United States 10 years ago,
understands this. “Being a single mother of three
boys, low income, immigrant, minority, low level of
education, low level of skills, low self-esteem, black
and female really put me at a disadvantage in this
competitive metropolitan Northern Virginia region,”
she said.
A social worker recommended that Lydia apply to
the Northern Virginia Family Service (NVFS) Training
Futures program. “Training Futures changed my life,”
said Lydia, a graduate of the program who is now
working as an executive assistant to the CEO of a
local nonprofit. “It helped to leave my past behind and
focus on my future.”
Training Futures prepares low-income, unemployed
or under-paid individuals to make the move from
dead-end jobs or sporadic employment to stable,
professional office careers with livable wages,
benefits and opportunities for professional and
personal advancement. More than 1,500 people have
participated in nearly 15 years. The 25-week program educates and prepares
under-employed or unemployed men and women for
administrative and medical office jobs with potential
for professional advancement. At the same time,
it meets the needs of metropolitan area employers
looking for qualified entry level workers. Participants
learn professional skills such as Microsoft Office
software, business communication, customer service,
and filing, as well as “soft skills” such as how to
dress in a professional setting and how to speak
in public. In addition, through the program’s unique

year and provided support for an important pilot
expansion to our program,” says Sharon LeGrande,
NVFS’s Director of Workforce Development and SelfSufficiency Programs.
According to an Aspen Institute study of Training
Futures participants, 84% of program graduates
secured new jobs following the program, a strong
outcome that held up favorably through the recession.
More than 62% were able to find employment in the
first three months after graduation. “We hope that our
outcomes show the solid work of Training Futures and
its ability to change a person’s life for the better and
for the long term,” LeGrande said.
Cindy Jackson, a recruiter with Oblon, Spivak
McClelland Maier & Neustadt, added, “Training
Futures has produced some of the most dedicated
employees we have ever seen. I’d be lost without
them.” The Alexandria-based law firm has employed
more than 40 Training Futures graduates over the
years.
“Funding from the Greater Washington Workforce
Development Collaborative at The Community
Foundation enabled us to serve 100 students last
Training Futures has produced some of the most dedicated
employees we have ever seen. I’d be lost without them.”
