Community Grant Application Open Date
The Arlington (VA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated makes annual small grants to partner community organizations meeting ongoing and emerging community needs in the County of Arlington and the City of Alexandria. Our goal is to expand our outreach through partnerships that increase the financial capacity of small organizations in our service area.

The DMV cluster chapters of The Links, Incorporated -- are hosting a voter information forum on Wednesday, September 30 at 7:00 PM. Our goal for this event is to get more local residents registered to vote, provide voter education and increase voter participation in the November 2020 election.
As the nation continues to battle two pandemics -- COVID-19 and systemic racism -- this election has real life or death implications for all Americans. However, this moment is especially perilous for communities of color as COVID-19 ravages on and marches for justice continue all across the nation. While the presidential election will be particularly impactful this year, there are also many down-ballot issues that are equally, if not more, important to improving the lives of people of color. It is at this moment that the DMV chapters of The Links, Incorporated are working together to make a difference by hosting this virtual event appropriately called “Vote Like Your Life Depends on it...Because it Does.”
The attendees at this non-partisan forum will leave the event encouraged, engaged, and energized to vote. Some of the forum topics to be covered are: social justice and criminal justice reform, COVID-19, FAQs to educate DMV voters on local issues including how to vote, etc., and employment implications on the election.
