Make a Donation

Loudoun Cares receives funding from a variety of sources that include individual donors, corporate donors and government. Because of this blended funding approach, the burden of program support will not fall to any one entity but be diversified across a number of different funders. Now that we have purchased our new Nonprofit Multi-Tenant Building, we need your support more than ever!

If you would like to donate, please contact us.

   NEW Faith Winter Fuel Fund 

2008 marks the third year that Loudoun Cares, National Electronics Warranty Inc. (NEW), the Loudoun County Department of Family Services and generous partners from the local faith community have joined forces and resources to keep area residents warm during winter.

 

This year, as in years past, NEW, helped launch the effort with a generous $7,500 donation to Loudoun Cares and a challenge to the interfaith community and other compassionate donors to match it. Our goal is to more than match the NEW contribution and raise $20,000 this year. Every penny of the funds raised goes to help low-income families pay utility costs. This creative partnership is rounded out by the Loudoun County Department of Family Services which has well-trained staff who take applications and carefully determine the eligibility of families seeking assistance.

 

Last year the Department of Family Services used these funds to prevent cutoffs or facilitate reconnections for 185 area residents living in 51 households. This amounts to an average payment of $274.00 per family.

 

This year our generous Interfaith partners include:

  • All Dulles Area Muslim Society Center (ADAMS Center)
  • Beth Chaverim Reform Congregation
  • Christ the Redeemer Roman Catholic Church
  • Congregation Sha’are Shalom
  • Crossroads United Methodist Church
  • Goose Creek Friends Meeting
  • Guru Angad Institute of Sikh Studies
  • Potomac Falls Church
  • Saint Francis de Sales
  • Saint Gabriel’s Episcopal Church
  • Saint James Episcopal Church
  • Saint Peter's Episcopal Church
  • Unity of Loudoun County

How to Contribute

In order to reach our goal and serve more families, members of the partnership are reaching out to other businesses, faith-based entities and individuals.

 

Donation checks can be made payable to Loudoun Cares. Please note in the memo section that the contribution is for the NEW Faith Winter Fuel Fund. Send donations to:

"Ours is the wealthiest county of its size in the country. 
We can and should
do more for those who are down
on their luck and cannot do for themselves.  I have faith
that other businesses and religious institutions will step
up to help with this."
