Apply for a Grant

Westmoreland Now and Forever Fund

A rolling application process is now in effect.

After carefully considering the previously stated grantmaking platforms direct a letter of inquiry only, which includes a brief statement about your organization, your proposed program or project, its intended outcomes and a draft budget/cost analysis. You will be notified by email once your inquiry has been received.

Upon receipt a CFWC staff member will contact your organization to discuss your proposal in detail, gather more information and determine if your inquiry merits funding. Your organization will either be selected to submit a formal proposal, or will be provided with feedback and direction for future funding opportunities.

It is recommended that an organization pursuing funding have a current published Pittsburgh or WestmorelandGives portrait. Additional information detailing the specific program/project goals and budget is required to be considered for a grant. Generally, Program Staff will request a meeting with the applicant and/or a site visit once the full proposal is submitted.

The Grantmaking Committee will meet quarterly to make final decisions on all formal grant applications.

Letters of inquiry can be directed to:
