Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s mission is to unite people, resources, and organizations to improve lives in Washington County. It envisions a community where everyone can achieve their human potential through education, financial stability, and healthy lives. Its filing describes distributing public support to partner agencies working in community health, welfare, and education, and coordinating donor-designated contributions.
For the 2024–2026 Community Impact Fund cycle, the organization identified health, financial stability, and education as broad priorities, with more specific focus areas of food insecurity, veterans’ needs, and supplemental needs. Its Veterans United Fund was established to support programs serving veterans in Washington County in the areas of education, financial stability, and health.
Among 2025 grantees, CASA for Kids describes its work as training court-appointed special advocates for abused and neglected children in Washington County. The Literacy Council of Southwestern PA says it empowers adults and families with literacy skills; Transitional Employment Consultants says it provides job-readiness training and competitive employment placement for individuals with disabilities. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not the funder’s.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, the organization reported 19 grants totaling $246,750. Grant amounts ranged from $7,500 to $28,000, with a median of $12,500.
The largest 2025 award was $28,000 to Southwestern PA Human Services for housing assistance.

A separate mandatory-meeting process and supporting-document requirements were described for the 2024–2026 Community Impact Fund cycle. That past cycle required a nonprofit representative to attend a meeting before submitting a preliminary application. Applicants approved to proceed were asked for a program budget, operating budget, audited financials, Form 990, a nonexpired Pennsylvania Bureau of Corporations and Charitable Organizations letter, a board list, and an IRS tax determination letter issued within the prior three years.
