We are committed to creating better, safer communities
for Arlington’s citizens. To that end, we support
organizations that celebrate civic responsibility and promote
a shared commitment to enriching and enhancing our city.
Corridor Beautification Pilot
Attractive cities prosper—residents feel a sense of pride, visitors
return, and businesses flourish. To permanently alter Arlington’s landscape,
the Foundation provided $250,000 in seed funding to the City for a pilot
program that provides immediate visual improvement with a little help from
Mother Nature. Through the use of native plants, which require minimal
maintenance and natural resources, Arlington will be dressed in its Sunday
best every day. Now, new landscaping creates a natural screen in front of
dilapidated fencing and other visual eyesores.

Animals
Sometimes feline and canine companions
need extra TLC to find their forever homes.
Through a $10,000 grant, the Foundation
empowered Sponsor Adoptions, whose
mission is to reduce euthanasia in animal
shelters, to provide medication for 18 animals
in the two final months of 2015, with many
more furry friends expected to receive
treatment in 2016.
