The Prince Charitable Trusts' DC program supports work to advance resilient and vibrant communities with an increasing understanding of the impacts of historic and systemic racism on people in our region. We believe that people should be empowered and resourced to develop solutions and lead change in their communities. While our work is focused on DC and the Virginia Piedmont, we recognize the role statewide and regional approaches play in advancing lasting, transformative change for people in the places they call home.

One of the key focuses of our work is promoting Resilient Land Use in Washington, DC and the Virginia Piedmont. This includes:

  • Land conservation and promotion of smart growth policies that protect natural resources and grow livable communities. 
  • Investing in a sustainable and equitable local food system that supports farmers and food businesses and increases access to healthy food. 
  • Enhancing community common spaces that improve the mental and physical wellbeing of people and the resilience and diversity of the natural environment.  

We support Arts and Culture organizations to inspire, spark innovation, and dialogue in DC.

We work to build a Strong Democracy by organizing communities and leaders to engage in policy decisions, election protection, voter education, and participation.
