Across the 20 most recent Washington, District of Columbia “Community and Lifestyle” entries, the largest disclosed amount is $100M (Vox Media, 2023-02-06). That figure sits far above the rest of the disclosed rounds in this table: the next-largest disclosed amounts are $40M (American Red Cross, 2022-10-18) and $10M (ICMA, 2023-04-13; National Indian Health Board, 2023-04-13), while many others are $1M or less (for example Pet Food Institute at $1M on 2025-03-10 and Ounce of Care at $5M on 2023-10-04).
The rounds cluster tightly around “Series Unknown” and “undisclosed” outcomes: 17 of 20 entries are labeled Series Unknown or undisclosed, with only a handful showing disclosed amounts (e.g., Diversability at $60K on 2024-05-01; American Red Cross at $40M on 2022-10-18). Temporally, the visible window spans 2021-06-08 (The Mentor Method) through 2025-05-05 (Caregiver Action Network and Climate Cardinals), with multiple entries sharing the same round date in 2025-05-05.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Washington Community and Lifestyle list, and how far above the rest is it?
Vox Media’s $100M round (2023-02-06) is an outlier: the next-largest disclosed amounts are $40M (American Red Cross, 2022-10-18) and $10M (ICMA, 2023-04-13; National Indian Health Board, 2023-04-13), while several other disclosed rounds sit at $1M or below (e.g., Pet Food Institute $1M on 2025-03-10).
How much of this list lacks disclosed amounts or uses non-specified rounds?
Out of 20 rows, 17 are either “undisclosed” and/or labeled “Series Unknown” (e.g., Caregiver Action Network on 2025-05-05 is undisclosed; LIFT on 2024-03-14 is also undisclosed; Ounce of Care is the clearest exception with a disclosed $5M and a Seed label on 2023-10-04).
Are the most recent closings concentrated in a narrow date window?
