About this organization
Mission
Spur Local strives to build equitable communities by empowering critical, local nonprofits. Our annual print and digital catalog amplify the stories and work of our nonprofit network to more than 50,000 regional households, connecting organizations with caring individuals who can fuel their growth. We consistently raise $5 million annually for our nonprofit partners, which now sums more than $57 million since our founding in 2003. Our capacity-building programming, featuring webinars, workshops, and other convenings, empowers our network of 450+ small, local nonprofits. The curriculum is tailored to the ever-changing needs of our nonprofits and focuses on key areas of nonprofit management, including fundraising, communications, volunteer engagement, and board development.
About
There are thousands of charities in Greater Washington, and finding the best ones to support isn’t always easy. Each year, we create and distribute our flagship print Catalog, the result of an intensive application process involving more than 200 small, community-based nonprofits. Our volunteer reviewers assess each applicant organization on how well their programs meet community needs and the power of those programs to create change. At the conclusion of the review process, we select 70-80 nonprofits deemed critical to our communities and highlight their stories and impact in the print edition of the Catalog. To date, more than 36,000 donors have used Spur Local’s platform to contribute $57 million to our network of over 400 nonprofits over the past 20 years.
