In 2022, the Community Foundation of Westmoreland County reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the needs of vulnerable populations in the county while helping to develop the places in which they live. Historically, we have done this through two programs: Revitalizing Westmoreland (Place) and Healthy Communities (People). By investing in people and place, CFWC is committed to making Westmoreland County a vibrant community where citizens are enthused and energized to live, work and share in its resources.
In 2023, we are combining the programs and requesting proposals for grants in one of the following areas:
Revitalizing Westmoreland (Place): proposed projects will foster and encourage revitalization in a community with a large number of households living at or below 200% of poverty. Maximum request is $20,000.
Healthy Communities (People): proposed projects will address the physical, social, environmental and emotional needs of individuals living at or below 200% of poverty. Funding must be for a specific program and/or project (not general operating support). Maximum request is $20,000.
Healthy Communities AND Revitalizing Westmoreland: proposed projects will address both People and Place goals. Maximum request is $35,000.
