philanthropic Activities

Financial Investment Inc.’s mission is to have a positive social impact on those in need in the greater Washington, DC area. Our contributions are targeted at helping socially and economically disadvantaged youth and young families who are striving to become financially independent. Our hope is that these young people and families will become contributing members of society, and continue the circle of giving.

Here is FII’s criteria for submitting grant proposals:

• Beneficiaries must be valid U.S. Citizens and/or immigrants with legal U.S. visiting documents.
• Non-profits must be fiscally responsible and have a verifiable social impact within their community.
• We look positively on organizations that have additional matching contributions (with those contributions having been received.)
• Grant proposals are accepted by the end of each quarter, March 31st, June 30th, September 30th and December 31st.. Grants are issued during the subsequent quarter.
• Grants are initially issued for $2,000 to $7,500 per year. Subsequent grants may be issued upon the submission and presentation of a viable business plan and the achievement of current philanthropic objectives.
• There is no need to submit annual comprehensive financial statements and annual reports.

The window for new grant applications starts January 1, 2010.

If your organization or effort matches this criteria and you would like to apply for a grant, please fill out this form and submit it to us according to the specifications detailed within. We look forward to reviewing your submission!
