Community Foundation of Fayette County Reaches

One Million Mark in Grantmaking

In 2009, The Community Foundation of Fayette County reached its $1 million mark for distributing grant awards.

“We’re very happy to reach this point,’’ said Clara Pascoe, executive director. “It’s a significant milestone for us as a Foundation.”

The Community Foundation of Fayette County, which was founded in 1999 and began grantmaking in 2001, is a tax-exempt public charity created to improve the quality of life in Fayette County.

The Foundation serves the region through grantmaking, leadership and donor services. Funding interests include: education, historic preservation, environmental awareness, health and human services, tourism initiatives, the arts, and community development.

The Foundation makes awards through several areas of funding, including general Spring and Fall awards, advised funds, scholarship awards, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) Partners program, and the Fayette Community Growth Fund.

The Community Foundation makes a difference in Fayette County every day. We encourage projects that include the following criteria: provide measurable and visible impact, promote tourism as an economic generator, build strong community partnerships and collaborations, and enrich the quality of life for residents.
