Loudoun Community Response Fund - Phase Two - Community Stability and Assistance Grants 2026
About the Fund
The Loudoun Community Response Fund was launched in 2025 to strengthen our community’s capacity to meet the growing needs of individuals and families striving for financial stability, well-being, safety, and long-term security. As more Loudoun residents seek assistance, the Loudoun Community Response Fund helps ensure that local nonprofits have the resources and support needed to deliver essential services and promote lasting stability. Funding for the Loudoun Community Response Fund is made possible through a one-time investment from the County of Loudoun.
Phase One funding was granted to local nonprofits in December 2025 through the Community Response Grant Round One and Housing Displacement Support Grant programs. The Community Foundation then conducted a community input process in 2026 to assess community needs, especially in the context of federal funding and policy shifts that may impact local residents and service delivery, as well as to inform the funding strategy for Phase Two. The community input process included data and literature review, in addition to focus groups and interviews with nonprofit, government, and funding partners, as well as community members. The Community Foundation now announces the opening of its Phase Two funding opportunities, informed by the community input process findings.
Collaborative Community Solutions Grants: Eligibility and Priorities
The Loudoun Community Response Fund announces the opening of its second phase of community response grants with two grant programs in 2026:
Community Stability and Assistance Grants Priority
The primary area of focus for this grant program is financial stability and emergency financial assistance for Loudoun residents. Proposed projects must address this area of focus to be considered.
Water Resources Development Grant Program
The purpose of this program is to provide cost-share grants and technical assistance to local governments throughout the state. Applications for grants are accepted for seven eligible project types: general navigation, recreational navigation, water management, stream restoration, water-based recreation, Natural Resources Conservation Service Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) stream restoration projects and feasibility/engineering studies. The navigation and coastal storm damage mitigation projects are collectively referred to as coastal infrastructure projects. The non-navigation projects are collectively referred to as state and local projects.
State & Local Grants
The program is administered by the Division Water Resources (DWR), N.C. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C., 27699-1617.
The department may provide state funds in amounts not to exceed the percentages stated in G.S. 143-215.71 of either the nonfederal costs (in the case of a project with federal agency funds) or the total costs (in the case of a project not receiving federal funds). The General Assembly placed a 50% cost-share maximum on Water Resources Development Grant awards during their 2020 session. This limit will remain in place until rescinded by the General Assembly. Based on limited annual funding received for grant awards statewide, applicants are encouraged to not exceed a $200,000 funding request ($50,000 for engineering/feasibility studies); however larger awards may be granted on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, it is recommended that administrative costs do not exceed 10% of the total project budget. DWR can issue grants for the nonfederal share of water resources development projects for the following purposes:
Stream Restoration: Restoration, stabilization or enhancement of degraded streams & shorelines, aquatic barrier removals, etc. Refer to the Restoration Types section in the latest version of the NC Land & Water Fund’s Applicant Funding Manual Restoration Program to select the appropriate restoration type to select as a ‘Treatment’ in our application spreadsheet.
Water Management: Stormwater control measures, drainage, flood reduction/resiliency, hydrologic restoration, etc.
Water-based Recreation Sites: Greenways, Trails, Boardwalks; Paddle Access, Fishing Docks/Piers; land acquisition for water-based recreation sites operated by local governments.
Preliminary Feasibility or Engineering Study: towards implementation of one of the three eligible categories listed above.
Solid Waste Management District Grants
Since 1992, the department has provided yearly grant funding to Missouri's 20 solid waste management districts to fund their operations and community-based waste reduction, reuse, composting and recycling projects. This funding is a portion of the revenues generated by the solid waste tonnage fee and deposited into the Solid Waste Management Fund. For information about the amount of waste (tonnage) reported and fees collected by the solid waste facilities, visit Solid Waste Tonnage Reporting and Fees. For more information about the tonnage fee, visit Solid Waste Tonnage Fees and Allocations.
Of the fees deposited into the Solid Waste Management Fund, the department allocates $800,000 per year to the Environmental Improvement and Energy Resources Authority and up to $200,000 each year for grants to the solid waste management districts receiving a reduction in funds due to the 2004 allocation formula change. The remaining revenues deposited into the fund are then allocated every 3 months, with 61% of the revenues provided to the solid waste management districts. The department divides the funds between the solid waste management districts based on the following criteria:
Missouri is divided into 20 solid waste management districts. The districts were created to foster regional cooperation between cities and counties in managing solid waste. The districts help plan and implement recycling services and other alternatives to waste disposal at the local level. They also administer waste reduction, reuse, recycling and composting grants to support these efforts. Funding for the districts is provided from the tonnage fees paid at Missouri landfills and transfer stations that transfer waste out of state. These funds are received by the department's Waste Management Program. The department allocates the funds to the districts based on a statutory formula. The districts submit grants to the department for approval and the funds are then paid to the districts based on the grant amounts. The districts then award grants to various entities including local governments, small and large businesses, schools, sheltered workshops, not-for-profit organizations and individuals to support activities to recycle, compost, reuse, reduce waste and educate the public on these topics.

Shallow Draft Navigation Channel Dredging Projects
According to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.73F, revenue in the Fund may only be used to provide the State’s cost share of the costs associated with any dredging project designed to keep shallow draft navigation channels located in State waters or waters of the State located within lakes navigable and safe. The cost share for dredging projects shall be at least one non-State dollar for every three dollars from the fund (S.L. 2022.74). No cost-share shall be required for dredging projects located, in whole or part, in a development tier one area for a ferry channel maintained by the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
