Unrestricted Funds | Westchester Community Foundation

We have a new website!

Since inception, The Westchester Community Foundation has operated as an affiliate of The New York Community Trust.

As part of our centennial celebrations, we are creating a single, unified organization to more powerfully advocate for our region with one voice.

We will still maintain our physical offices in Westchester with the same dedicated staff who will continue to honor and build upon our relationships with local nonprofits and communities.

You can now find us at: https://www.thenytrust.org/westchester/

The Westchester Index is at westchesterindex.org.

The New York Community Trust. For Westchester. Forever.

YOUR FORESIGHT + OUR EXPERTISE =
A BRIGHTER FUTURE
No one can predict what will be needed decades from now. An unrestricted fund is insurance that your generosity will remain relevant. WCF will make grants in your name in perpetuity, even helping with challenges that may be unimaginable today.

GIVE LIKE A BILLIONAIRE

Our expert grantmaking team will harness your generosity. They do the legwork: vetting proposals, making grants, and ensuring that gifts get results for generations to come.

A PERMANENT GIFT

An unrestricted fund continues your charitable legacy in perpetuity. Future Foundation board and staff—who have a tradition of excellence to stand on—will make grants in your name that deal effectively with issues that arise.

CASE STUDY:

Through the generosity of Frank Wigg, who established The Frank E. Wigg Charitable Fund, a permanent fund in the foundation, we’ve been able to support a broad range of projects, including community convenings, volunteerism, leadership development, pro bono legal services, and workshops and trainings for nonprofits.

YOU CAN SET UP AN UNRESTRICTED FUND NOW.

It’s easy. It’s a great choice for busy Westchester residents who want to give back but don’t have the time to research the thousands of nonprofits that deserve support.
