The mission of The Community Foundation of Westmoreland County’s unrestricted grantmaking is to strengthen communities, promote change and address overlapping community issues. CFWC has worked with partner organizations to create special funding initiatives to respond to some of our region’s most pressing needs.
Our funding opportunities fall into two categories:
CFWC grants range from $5,000 - $30,000. We typically award $2.5 million annually in partnership with our donors.
In 2025, we are conducting needs assessments and research to bring more focus and impact to our grantmaking. In addition, our technology, including our grantee portal, is being upgraded to create a better experience for grantees. Therefore, the majority of our 2025 grantmaking will occur in the last quarter of the year.
To qualify for grant support, your nonprofit organization must be located within Westmoreland County or demonstrate service to Westmoreland County residents. The Foundation only makes grants to nonprofits designated by the IRS as 501(c)(3) organizations (including churches) or to public entities such as towns, public schools or state agencies. All others must utilize a fiscal agent. We cannot grant to individuals.
Please note that CFWC will also consider requests for funding that fall outside of our funding priorities. If you want to find out if your organization may be eligible for future funding, please contact us at info@cfwestmoreland.org.
