The Ballston Business Improvement District (BID) has created a new charitable arm, BallstonGives. Fundraising events, such as Taste of Arlington, will be controlled by BallstonGives, allowing the events to have an even higher impact on the community.

“The Ballston BID is dedicated to the Ballston community, and BallstonGives is an innovative way to increase our direct impact on the community,” said Tina Leone, CEO of the BID. “We strive to enhance Ballston as the connected, progressive neighborhood that it is, and BallstonGives provides us with even greater capacity to do so.”

Since January 2012, The Ballston BID has donated a total of $107,535 to local charities; some of which include the Arlington Food Assistance Program, Leadership Arlington, Doorways for Women & Children, Arlington Community Center, and the Arlington Art Center. While many Business Improvement Districts in the area make donations, few have distinct and separate charitable arms. The Ballston BID believes this will allow each charitable dollar to have a deeper impact in the community.
