Environment | 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.

Protecting our natural resources is good for biodiversity and good for our quality of life.

Thanks to generous donors, we’re able to support environmental programs throughout the region. Here’s a sample of our grants:

  • Improve water quality by protecting the Hudson, Saw Mill, and Bronx Rivers and the Long Island Sound
  • Promote sustainable practices in the business sector through a green business certification program
  • Support environmental justice efforts by addressing pollution in our urban communities
