Due to budgetary constraints, The Washington Post no longer provides monetary support through the Charitable Giving Program. Nonprofit organizations can still receive non-monetary support through Public Interest/Promotional Advertising, PostPoints Partnership designations and In-Kind Auction Items. Please be aware that all decisions will be consistent with our new mission of supporting educational and arts initiatives. Strict adherence to these guidelines will maximize the impact of our charitable giving program in the metropolitan Washington, DC region. Although we appreciate the considerable time and effort involved in preparing a funding request, unfortunately we are not able to respond favorably to many of the worthy requests for assistance that we receive.
