The City recognizes that not-for-profit organizations fill an important role in improving the quality of life for our community. To encourage not-for-profit organizations to provide services to residents of Newport News, the City has established a system to award monetary grants to qualified not-for-profit organizations. These grants are intended to:

• Provide funding to not-for-profit agencies serving the City of Newport News whose services are easily accessible to Newport News residents and whose service costs can be documented.
• Provide incentive funding to develop new services or capital improvements to meet specific needs of Newport News residents and to complement services provided by the City departments.

These grants are incentives designed to foster new services or expand existing services in the City. A goal of the process is to encourage citizen support for programs so that City funds can be replaced with funds from other sources. This will allow the City funds to be directed toward new programs in the future.
