CharlottesvilleFamily Opens Nominations for 2026 Doing Good Marketing Grant for Local Children's Nonprofits

IVY, Va. — CharlottesvilleFamily Magazine is now accepting nominations for its 2026 Doing Good Marketing Grant, which awards a full year of marketing support to a small nonprofit serving children and families in Charlottesville and Albemarle County.

Offered every two years, the grant gives the winning organization [describe the package: e.g., print ad placements, digital features, social promotion, newsletter inclusion] across CharlottesvilleFamily's print, online, and social channels, helping a small team reach thousands of local parents without stretching its budget.

"Some of the most important work for kids in our community is done by organizations with no marketing budget at all," said Jennifer Bryerton, publisher and editor-in-chief. "After nearly 30 years of serving Charlottesville families, this is one way we can put our audience to work for the people doing that work."

Anyone can nominate an eligible organization, and nonprofits may nominate themselves. Nominations are due November 10, 2026. Finalists will be announced for community voting November 18 through 25, and the winner will be named on Giving Tuesday, December 1.
