Revitalizing Westmoreland Grant Program

The Revitalizing Westmoreland Grant Program, managed by the Pittsburgh Foundation, aims to support vulnerable populations in Westmoreland County. By investing in both community and individual needs, the program facilitates revitalization projects for households living at or below 200% of poverty. Nonprofits based in or serving the county can apply for grants up to $20,000, ensuring a vibrant community where residents can thrive.

Background
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.
Revitalizing Westmoreland (Place): approved projects fostered and encouraged revitalization in communities with a large number of households living at or below 200% of poverty. Maximum request was $20,000.

Eligibility

To qualify for unrestricted grant support, your nonprofit organization must be located within Westmoreland County or demonstrate service to Westmoreland County residents.
