| Westchester Community Foundation has made seventeen grants totaling $356,600 to local agencies. “We are so proud to be able to fund programs at these wonderful agencies,” said Catherine Marsh, WCF’s Executive Director. “A key goal of the foundation is to bring together philanthropists and organizations that serve the community—the vetting process in awarding these grants assures our donors that their support is being used in the best way possible.” In early 2009’s economic downturn, the Westchester Community Foundation’s Board of Advisors voted to direct any funds possible (those not restricted by donors) to critical needs in the county, notably food, shelter, and safety.
