Charlottesville, Virginia – December 15, 2016 – Today, the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation announces $519,500 in grants to 71 local nonprofits through the Bama Works Fund of Dave Matthews Band. In 2016, the Bama Works Fund has awarded and committed over $1.9 million to 175 organizations in total. Established in 1998, the Bama Works Fund has been committed to making grants in Charlottesville and the seven surrounding counties for close to two decades, and has had a significant impact on a variety of organizations. Grants have supported youth, vulnerable populations, the natural environment and arts and cultural assets. Since 1998, the Fund has made over 1,200 grants, totaling more than $18 million.

Dave Matthews Band’s philanthropy through the Bama Works Fund has not only touched a broad range of nonprofits of all sizes, it has also made foundational gifts to transformative community projects over the years. In addition, the Band finds new ways to give back to the community. This year, the Band marked its 25th anniversary and thanked its hometown with a special benefit concert at John Paul Jones Arena to support area nonprofits. Following the concert, Bama Works issued a $500,000 challenge grant to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Virginia to help fund an expansion project of their Southwood Club. Additionally, the fund issued challenge grants to both Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville for their work in the Southwood Community, and to the City of Charlottesville for the planned Skate Park in McIntire Park.

Anne Scott, President of the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation, stated that “Dave Matthews Band’s commitment to improving the quality of life for everyone in our community is unique and outstanding. The Community Foundation is grateful for their support and appreciates the lasting benefits of their hard work and generosity for hundreds of individuals and programs throughout the local area.”

A complete list of the Fall 2016 grant recipients can be found on the Community Foundation website www.cacfonline.org/apply.

Twice each year, the Bama Works Fund of Dave Matthews Band of CACF awards gifts through a competitive grant cycle. Applicants seeking a grant for the next Spring decision must apply no later than February 1, 2017. Additional information on the grant process can be found on the Apply for Grants page of the Community Foundation website.

    I believe what you said was very logical. However, what about this?
    suppose you were to create a awesome title?
    I am not suggesting your content isn’t solid, but what if you added a headline to maybe grab
    people’s attention? I mean COMMUNITY: DMB Provides $519,500 in Grants to
    71 Local Nonprofits – Keswick Life is a little plain. You could peek at Yahoo’s front page and note
    how they create post titles to get people to open the
    links. You might add a related video or a pic or two to get people
    interested about what you’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it might make
    your posts a little bit more interesting.
