  • The Northern Virginia Conservation Trust Chosen for New 2006 Catalogue for Philanthropy in Greater Washington

Catalogue Philanthropy logo

The Northern Virginia Conservation Trust has been selected as a featured charity in the 2006-07 Catalogue for Philanthropy. NVCT was elected from a competitive field of approximately 200 candidates. Proposals were reviewed by 50 professional grant makers and leaders at 30 local foundations and nonprofit organizations."Charities were selected for excellence, innovation, and cost-effectiveness--and for what they can teach us about the extraordinary ways that philanthropy works,” Harman said. “These are certainly among the best small charities in the Washington, DC region.” According to Barbara Harman, Executive Director of the Harman Family Foundation, "The Catalogue is designed to be a showcase for DC-region philanthropy and an inviting way for individuals and families to participate in charitable giving."
