About Us





The Community Foundation for Prince George's County (CFPGC), a regional affiliate of The Community Foundation for the National Capital Region, was established in 1994.  The Foundation serves as an advocate and supporter of the County’s nonprofit organizations helping to connect them to community resources. In addition to its grantmaking role, the Foundation partners with local, regional and national foundations on initiatives designed to insure that the County’s nonprofits are sustained and remain effective.


Civic Leadership Award
The Civic Leadership Awards were established to recognize, honor, and promote outstanding community leadership in Prince George’s County, MD. The Awards salute individual servant-leaders who enhance the quality of life in the county, working tirelessly and unselfishly behind the scenes and in the forefront. These community guardians steadfastly commit and dedicate themselves in service to Prince George’s County and its residents. An annual celebration event is held to recognize the valuable contributions of honorees and the county’s nonprofit sector. 


The Bridge Builders Award  
The Bridge Builders Award is presented to individuals who work “under the radar” to make a difference in the lives of their neighbors and community through their service and commitment. An award is made to a nonprofit organization of the honoree’s choice in recognition of their contribution to Prince George’s County.  Awardees are engaged in several activities in the areas of civic engagement, education, economic and community development and social services.  


The Partnership for Prince George’s County  
Officially launched in 2008, The Partnership for Prince George’s County is a funding collaborative of local, regional and national foundations. The effort grew out of a series of community dialogues co-sponsored by The Community Foundation for Prince George’s County and the Washington Regional Association of Grantmakers.   Its purpose is to stimulate and increase philanthropic support of the County’s nonprofits by making targeted investments in their organizational capacity, sustainability and advocacy.
