Without financial support of foundations, readers like you, and local businesses, Greater Greater Washington couldn’t keep building informed and civically engaged communities who speak up for livable places for all. Thank you!

Foundations

With funding from the Open Philanthropy Foundation and McIntosh Foundation we’re increasing the number of posts about housing, creating maps to help visualize the housing affordability problem, and launched a book club to read and discuss DC’s Comprehensive Plan to prepare for the upcoming amendment process.

Readers like you

So far this year, 295 readers have donated $29,000! Kyle M. and Melissa J. starting giving $5 and $10 to GGWash every month. Elizabeth W. and William H. made one-time donations of $25. Robert W. contributed $500. We’d love to recognize each and every of the 291 other individuals, but we just don’t have space.

Reader donations help make sure GGWash can publish the information you rely on like updates and analysis about Metro, endorsements to help you cast your vote in support of transit-oriented policies and candidates, and stories like this one and this one that capture the experience of living in the Washington DC region.

You can make a donation anytime! Please consider making yours today.

Corporate sponsors

So far in 2016, Chevy Chase Land Company and EYA have provided $3,500 in sponsorships to support GGWash’s activities. Capital Bikeshare, goDCgo, Island Press, and TransitOriented donated goods including CaBi memberships, books, and posters to use as prizes for our 8th Birthday Party in March. Tate and Tryon provided pro-bono accounting expertise to help GGWash file its first tax return.

Volunteers

Last but not least, we couldn’t be Greater Greater Washington without the more than 125 volunteers who donate their time to bring you thoughtful, data-informed information about the forces shaping our region. Community volunteers write the majority of the posts that appear on GGWash. Each year, our volunteers donate tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of time to Greater Greater Washington.

The Washington, DC region is great, and you all help make it greater. Thank you!

If you would like to support Greater Greater Washington through a corporate sponsorship or by volunteering, I would love to hear from you!
