Northern Piedmont Community Foundation

The Now & Forever Fund

This year's Give Local Piedmont donations will support NPCF's Now & Forever Fund. The Now & Forever Fund allows us to respond quickly to meet immediate and unanticipated needs in our community. Whether it's helping a shelter replace a broken window, providing a theater group with resources to launch a children's program, supporting an animal rescue as they respond to unexpected volume, or helping a soup kitchen replace a broken appliance, the Now & Forever Fund gives us the greatest flexibility to support the nonprofit work that makes our community stronger — today and for a better tomorrow!

Who We Are 

The Northern Piedmont Community Foundation was founded in December 2000 when nine concerned citizens from Virginia’s Piedmont region were searching for solutions to the charitable needs in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, and Rappahannock counties. With modest beginnings, our funds have grown to over $41 million in support of local charities, scholarships, and community need in our Northern Piedmont region.  NPCF manages donor assets to strengthen our four county region, and awards millions from our donor and community funds back into our communities through our nonprofit organizations.  NPCF hosts the annual Give Local Piedmont campaign each May.  This program connects our communities, increases awareness of our nonprofits and incentivizes giving.  Our communities’ eleven-year total is over $11 million. In 2025, Give Local Piedmont raised over $1 million dollars for 225 participating nonprofits, breaking the $1.0M dollar mark for the sixth time. Let's do it again in 2026!
