The OneAID Community is proud to support this grassroots mutual aid effort! As of May 2025, The Solidarity Fund has raised more than $35,000 and supported 21 households - a total of 101 people. We invite you to scroll down to learn more about the fund, how you can donate, and how you can apply for support. Thank you!

“We give because every family deserves dignity, even in their hardest

hour. When someone is facing hunger, eviction, or the weight of

unexpected crisis, The Solidarity Fund provides immediate

cash support. It also reminds them they’re not alone. It’s a tangible reminder

that there is still hope and kindness in the world, people still care, and

there’s a community standing alongside them.”

“I am in tears reading this. I cannot thank you enough for your consideration and kindness. This grant will quite literally keep my children fed.”

~ Anonymous Recipient

USAID promoted "cash is best" during times of crisis because cash is fast and flexible and empowers those impacted by disaster to purchase exactly what is needed, when it is needed.


We invite you to click here to make a monetary donation to The Solidarity Fund. For more information about other ways to give, visit the Greater Washington Community Foundation website.


If you are in need to assistance during this difficult time, please submit an application to be considered for a cash grant here. Although we cannot help everyone, we are committed to providing financial assistance to as many people as possible.


"Thank you so much for your kindness, support, and for believing in me during this challenging time… Your support not only eases some of the financial burden but also brings great encouragement to me and my family.”
