Westmoreland Fayette County Boy Scouts of America
W.D. Boyce brought Scouting to America from England in 1910. The program came to our two counties a year later in 1911. The year 1937 saw the two counties merge into one local Council which today is a non-profit corporate operating with volunteer officers and a volunteer board of directors. The Council employs 11 professional staff and 5 office staff and serves about 10,000 youth through the Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Venturing and Learning for Life programs.
Types of Grants
The Community Foundation of Fayette County makes grants in two categories -- project support and systemic change. The focus of giving is on project support; however, systemic change requests may receive consideration, if the proposal warrants this type of funding.
Grant awards of up to $5,000 are made to innovative projects that meet the criteria and best reflect the Community Foundation's mission.
Systemic Change
