The Community Foundation of Westmoreland County (CFWC) is your community foundation which works in partnership with nonprofit organizations to meet community needs. While our current focus is on supporting vulnerable populations and their communities, periodically we support other types of requests.
The mission of CFWC'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 priorities fall into two categories:
Greensburg Foundation Fund
Revitalizing Westmoreland/Healthy Communities
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.
In the meantime, if you have questions, pressing needs, or want to find out if your organization might be eligible for future funding, please contact us at info@cfwestmoreland.org.
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 use a fiscal agent.
