Solar United Neighbors (SUN)

EIN: 46-2462990

Mission Statement

Solar United Neighbors helps people go solar, join together, and fight for their energy rights.

Program Summary

Education & Support: SUN provides robust national engagement programs designed to educate people about renewable energy free of charge. We provide in-depth explainers about topics like solar 101, electric vehicles, and battery storage. We educated more than 15,000 people in 2024 about solar, renewable technologies, effective advocacy, and more. SUN also operates the nation-wide Solar Help Desk offering information, answers to solar questions, roof review, proposal comparisons, and consumer protection and remediation free of charge. The SUN Solar Help Desk provided support at no cost to more than 37,000 people last year.

Group Purchase Programs: According to the 2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey, “more than one-fourth of all American households reported experiencing any energy insecurity. About 20% of households reported reducing or forgoing food or medicine to pay energy costs, and 10% of households reported leaving their home at an unhealthy temperature.” SUN brings people together to save money on their solar installations, connect with like-minded individuals, and get guidance from vendor-neutral experts throughout the entire process.These bulk purchase programs result in savings to participants of a 20% average discount. These savings will be increasingly important in the wake of losing the 30% residential tax credit. Our bulk purchasing programs help us identify the most pressing barriers to going solar. We have also rallied our network around broader clean energy issues, helping enact 100% clean energy targets in Virginia and Minnesota, for example.

Low-Income Programs: At SUN, we believe solar is for everyone, regardless of income or location, and we recognize that the energy cost burden is much higher for those in lower-income situations. We have implemented more than 30 income-qualified programs in Virginia and across our 13-state reach. Through these, we have helped more than 400 low-income households go solar and reduced future energy bills by $12.4+ million for low-income homeowners.

Impact Statement

Since 2015, SUN has helped more than 12,500 households go solar, facilitated 104.4 new MW on the grid, reduced future energy bills by $553+ million for homeowners, and supported the creation of 2,442 local jobs nationwide. 

In Virginia, SUN has helped more than 1,340 households go solar, 480 in the Arlington area, reducing Virginian’s future energy bills by over $50+ million and supporting the creation of 240+ local jobs. 

SUN has a long history of serving the Arlington community. Our first Arlington Solar Co-op (group purchasing program) was in 2015 and we have supported the program every year since. Arlington is also where we piloted SUN’s first EV charging co-op that was the first to offer EV chargers with or without solar.

What ways can the public get involved?

SUN provides opportunities for all ages and abilities to volunteer in their own communities as well as on a national scale. Volunteer opportunities include serving on a local community advisory board or selection committee (all of our work is community-led and community-driven), organizing a community education event or community solar co-op, representing SUN at a community event, contacting legislators in support of solar policy, and much more. SUN currently has 253 activated volunteers in the Arlington area.

How are charitable dollars spent? Where does my donation go?

SUN uses donations to support our free, non-partisan, installer-neutral consumer protection solar education and support programs, including our Solar Help Desk, which provides answers to solar questions, roof review, proposal comparisons, and consumer protection and remediation all free of charge. This resource provided support at no cost to more than 37,000 people last year. A donation of $25 provides 26 individuals with free, one-on-one solar support and guidance. Donations can also allow us to provide low-cost solar to low-income communities when we are able to partner with municipalities or states for additional resources.

Jews United for Justice

EIN: 52-2346578

Mission Statement

Jews United for Justice advances economic, racial, and social justice in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia by educating and mobilizing our local Jewish communities to action.

We move our region closer to equity and justice by advancing issue-based campaigns that make real, immediate, and concrete improvements in people’s lives and build the power of working-class and poor communities of color. Through these campaigns we develop leaders, build our Jewish grassroots community, shift the consciousness of our community, and build the collective power needed to undo systemic racism and inequality.

Program Summary

For more than a quarter century, Jews United for Justice (JUFJ) has worked in coalition to win policy changes – like increasing the minimum wage, expanding access to affordable housing, and providing paid family leave to everyone – that make concrete improvements in the lives of millions of people. JUFJ simultaneously builds a vibrant Jewish community and Jewish home for local activists, who gather together for Jewish holiday celebrations and to take powerful action on local issues together. Through this work, JUFJ builds partnerships with non-Jewish organizations and communities across the region that increases understanding of the Jewish community and establishes the foundation for shared efforts to dismantle antisemitism, racism, and xenophobia.  

JUFJ launched our work in Arlington and more broadly in Northern Virginia in 2025. We are currently:

• Building a vibrant community of leaders and volunteers committed to advancing justice
• Helping to win Constitutional Amendments to advance voting rights, marriage equality, and reproductive justice
• Mobilizing the Jewish community to support and protect immigrants in the region.

Impact Statement

JUFJ’s work targets two distinct communities. Through our policy advocacy campaigns, JUFJ’s work benefits millions of people in our region who are living in poverty or who are otherwise vulnerable. We work collaboratively with faith, community, and advocacy groups of people who are most directly and negatively impacted by the problems we seek to address, and we follow their leadership. Due to the advocacy of JUFJ and our partners, we have worked successfully for Paid Family Leave in Maryland and DC, Paid Sick Days in Maryland and DC, progressive tax laws, and many more policies that have a positive impact on people in our region.
Our work also directly impacts the lives of our base of mostly- Jewish volunteers, who plan and lead our programming, public education, and issue campaigns. This uniquely intergenerational constituency builds strong relationships, Jewish identity, and community, and often describes JUFJ as their Jewish home. They build leadership and advocacy skills and are part of a community working for justice.

What ways can the public get involved?

JUFJ is building a powerful group of volunteers that will fight for a more just state, and we are recruiting Virginians to volunteer with us. We invite you to join us at rallies, meetings with elected officials, and at our cultural and educational events. Our current advocacy is focused on supporting three state constitutional amendments to enshrine Voting Rights, Marriage Equality, and Reproductive Justice in the Constitution, and to advance Immigrant justice. We hope you will join us!

How are charitable dollars spent? Where does my donation go?

JUFJ is a careful steward of the money we raise, ensuring every dollar is spent wisely to help us advance our goals of a more just region. 

More than 90% of our budget goes to our core staff costs.  That staff provides the foundation to enable coordinated collective action with hundreds of multi-racial, multi-faith partners across the region, and to support our volunteer leaders to advance the work. We are actively seeking support to sustain and expand our staff team in Northern Virginia.

Community Residences Inc (CRi)

EIN: 54-1004092

Mission Statement

CRi envisions a world where all people have Choice, Respect, Independence, and the support needed to live a fulfilling life. We deliver personalized resources to youth and adults with mental health support needs and developmental disabilities, and for 50 years have promoted equity by aiding people with these diagnoses to live in diverse communities. Started in Arlington as part of the de-institutionalization movement, CRi provides services via a person-centered approach that emphasizes individual needs and preferences. CRi services help Virginians to increase their stability, autonomy, and well-being – via community homes, supervised residential services, and community-based case management services. 

Program Summary

CRi Programs serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental health support needs, and youth as they age out of foster care:

• Developmental Disabilities programs include neighborhood-based shared living community homes, Supported Living services that promote skills building for community integration as well as daily care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disability (I/DD) diagnoses, and  intermediate care facilities (I/DD/ICF) that provide 24-hour clinical support to prevent hospitalization or admission to a nursing facility. As part of these programs CRi provides Behavioral Therapeutic Consultation, to aid caregivers to implement each client’s Individual Support Plan, which is developed with families and clinical staff to help reach individual goals.
• In Virginia, CRi’s Mental Health programs focus on evidence-based skills building services for recovery, delivered through supervised community living in residential apartment settings.
• Tenant Support Services reach individuals with either disabilities or a mental health diagnosis, or a dual diagnosis. Case managers aid clients to set goals for independent living, develop measurable plans, and strengthen the skills needed to be a responsible tenant.
• The Living Independently for Tomorrow (LIFT) program serves youth age 17-21 as they transition out of foster care, via provision of apartment-based case management and support services for housing, employment, and therapeutic needs.

Impact Statement

CRi measures its impact beyond the number of people served each year – which in FY24 was 700 people in Virginia and Maryland. Clinical staff work with clients and families to develop an Individual Support Plan or Individual Recovery Plan for every person in each program, which helps measure progress toward goals such as community integration and outcomes including improved communication, pro-social behaviors, money management skills, and use of community resources. We assess the quality of CRi’s services by tracking individual advancement, and by gathering feedback via an annual client satisfaction survey. Over 460 individuals responded to the 2024 survey, with results reflecting the strong relationships developed in CRi’s programs. Over 90% of individuals agreed that they feel heard, understood, and respected. This impact can be seen in the success stories of people we serve, in an increased ability to participate in community events and connect with others, in the improvement in symptoms of a mental illness, the capacity to maintain one’s own clean apartment, and the capability to sustain employment or education.

What ways can the public get involved?

Financial donations of any size are always welcome, and a small monetary amount can help our individuals participate in community events and activities such as local music concerts and movies, by contributing to transportation funds. People who are interested in collaborating with CRi can also volunteer and/or advocate with us, and/or donate in-kind items. Our Volunteer Program Manager organizes activities with local businesses and civic groups to help us maintain and beautify our community houses, plus events with Volunteer Arlington and Volunteer Fairfax, such as the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service in January. We can work with teachers and schools to help students fulfill service hours. Civic groups can also visit a program in their community and bring arts and craft supplies or board games, and can assemble kits to support our individual residents, e.g., with hygiene kits or “busy boxes.” CRi also has an Advocates Group to aid our leadership in publicly supporting our work with individuals with disabilities and mental health diagnoses.

How are charitable dollars spent? Where does my donation go?

Financial contributions support CRi’s general operating costs, such as providing transportation for youth and adults to community events and appointments with healthcare providers. For adults with developmental disabilities and/or mental health support needs, a donation of $50 will enable our staff to transport and accompany an individual on an outing such as a concert by the Arlington Philharmonic Orchestra. $100 would help provide gardening supplies to maintain the 11 community homes we manage in Arlington and Falls Church. Larger donations, such as from a Donor Advised Fund, could help us with staff appreciation and professional development for our dedicated Direct Support Professionals, who provide the services to the individuals we serve.

Ronald McDonald House of Charities, Greater Washington DC

EIN: 52-1132262

Mission Statement

Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Greater Washington, DC (RMHCDC) provides essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare.

Program Summary

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Washington, DC (RMHCDC) seeks to address the multifaceted challenges faced by families dealing with a child’s illness or injury. These challenges include:

• Emotional and Psychological Stress: Faced with a child’s illness, families are plunged into a world of fear and worry.
• Travel-Related Stress: Parents often face the added stress of traveling long distances or through heavy traffic to reach necessary medical care.
• Financial Strain: The costs of travel, lodging, and meals quickly add up creating financial pressure.
• Maintaining Family Normalcy: Balancing the needs of the sick child with maintaining normalcy for siblings and managing work commitments is challenging.
• Isolation: Being far from home leads to isolation from family and friends.
• Healthcare Access: Many families come from areas with limited healthcare options, and a significant portion of the community we serve lives in poverty, which exacerbates health issues and limits access to necessary care.
• Rising Costs: Inflation has increased the cost of food and transportation, further straining family finances.

RMHCDC addresses the challenge of supporting families with a sick child through a comprehensive, family-centered care approach. Recognizing that a child’s illness impacts the entire family, RMHCDC involves families in the healthcare process to make informed decisions alongside healthcare providers. This holistic approach aims to improve various outcomes such as psychosocial outcomes, clinical outcomes, resource distribution, and patient and family satisfaction.
We believe that when a child is sick, the entire family needs comfort and support. We believe that a home is more than four walls and a roof over your head – it is the intangible magic that transpires in moments shared together. We believe in building a global community that finds strength, hope and courage in embracing healing as a joyous experience. Please give today to help even more families stay close through the biggest challenge of their lives. Together, we can do big things!

Impact Statement

Our organization provides a supportive and healing environment for families with seriously ill or injured children receiving medical care in the greater Washington, D.C. region. Through our core programs—including two Ronald McDonald Houses. We offer families a place to rest, recharge, and stay close to the hospital without the financial burden of lodging or meals. In 2024, we provided nearly 15,000 occupied room nights—an increase of more than 2,600 over the prior year, allowing us to serve more families when they needed it most.

Beyond housing, we offer daily meals, emotional support, and enriching programming for children and caregivers. These services reduce stress, foster community, and improve overall family well-being during medical crises. Our work has a direct and measurable impact: families report reduced emotional and financial strain, increased time spent at their child’s bedside, and a greater sense of comfort and stability.

By removing barriers to care and meeting basic needs, we help families focus on what matters most, the health and recovery of their child. Through strong hospital partnerships and the support of donors and volunteers, our programs continue to grow in reach, impact, and relevance.

What ways can the public get involved?

The public can get involved by volunteering to prepare meals, organizing donation drives, or supporting our events like the Red Shoe 5K Run & Walk. We also welcome financial contributions and in-kind donations that help sustain our programs year-round. To learn more or sign up to help: https://rmhcdc.org/volunteer-new/

How are charitable dollars spent? Where does my donation go?

Additionally, contributions help cover essential expenses like utilities, supplies, and program staff who deliver compassionate care and support.

The HSZ&W Trans Wellness Fund supports access to gender-affirming care across Virginia. This fund has a quarterly application and distribution process to reduce or eliminate financial, practical, and support barriers to GAC for Virginians, as well as transgender and nonbinary people living in banned states who are traveling to Virginia for their care. We are accepting donations year round to sustain this grant. For more information, please visit https://heshezewe.org/twf. 

Our Family Connections program serves families with school-age gender-expansive children. This crucial program provides a break from the challenges our youth face at school or in their communities and offers a safe, inclusive environment where families, including parents and siblings, gather to connect and have fun together.

HSZ&W’s Trans Adult Social Club (TASC) has started in the Richmond area. This program is for trans and nonbinary adults looking to make meaningful connections, share resources, and have fun in a free and sober space to build community. HSZ&W is looking for collaborative partners to be able to bring TASC to Northern VA in the future, if desired and needed.
