The Community Investment Funds are the signature grant cycle managed by the Community Foundation in which funds are invested in organizations serving the Northern Virginia community in the areas of child and youth development, education, health, mental health and aging, military personnel and their families, and poverty relief.

Through endowments that the Community Foundation continues to build and through annual support from donors, the total awarded through the Community Investment Funds cycle grows each year.  In 2019, it awarded more than $400,000 to 41 organizations.
