A history of Community Service

SEVACF helps donors meet local charitable needs throughout southeast Virginia with grants and scholarships for our community’s most pressing needs and promising opportunities.

SEVACF manages a collection of charitable funds, grant-making funds, nonprofit endowments, and scholarship funds, created by different donors at different times for varying purposes. Donors may create funds during their lifetime or by bequest, for general charitable purposes or for a particular cause or organization that they specify. SEVACF provides tailored services to help individuals, families, businesses, and other groups pursue their charitable goals easily, effectively, and with maximum tax benefit.
