We are so thrilled to announce the launch of Arlington’s Nonprofit Directory! We have heard from many in the community, especially those who participate in our annual Nonprofit Wish Catalog (arlcf.org/wish), that they are interested in a “go-to” resource to learn about Arlington nonprofits.

This new directory will now serve as that year-round resource. We’ve compiled self-reported information from over sixty 501(c)(3) organizations serving Arlington County. Use the directory to search by keyword, area of impact, or filters including: populations served, type of work, population scope, leadership demographics, and budget size. On each nonprofit profile, you can find links to their website, social media, and financials, mission and program statements, info on how to donate and get involved, and more!

Can’t wait to see you there!

Dear Neighbors, Good Company Doughnuts & Cafe has opened its 2nd location in National Landing. The cafe is open seven days a week and now offers Happy Hour and Dinner!

We are thankful to be a part of this wonderful community, through thick and thin, where we’ve made many friends. We are proud of the support we’ve both received and provided to the community and thank our customers for making that possible.

Well-Paid Maids is known as the only certified living-wage cleaning company in the D.C. area, paying cleaners a starting wage of $24 an hour. Plus, they offer benefits, like health insurance, 24 days of PTO and more.

But Well-Paid Maids is more than an ethical cleaning company. The team works hard to advocate for workers’ rights and fair, living wages in a notoriously dirty industry.
