The Westfield Fund Accepting Grant Applications

The Westfield Fund (TWF) is accepting applications for grants from charitable programs and organizations which serve the Westfield community. Grant applications should be submitted by April 1, 2022.

The Westfield Fund is a Community Donor Advised Fund of the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation. Their mission of improving the quality of life for residents of Westfield is fulfilled through grantmaking to charitable projects and organizations serving the community. Grants are made possible by contributions from individuals, families, and businesses.

Priority will be given to grant requests that demonstrate the following:

  • The potential impact and number of people who will benefit from the grant.
  • An innovative, efficient approach to serving community needs.
  • Assistance for citizens whose needs are not being met by existing programs or services.
  • Cooperation with other agencies in the community to encourage the efficient use of community resources and the elimination of duplicated services.
  • Promotion of volunteer participation and citizen involvement.

Organizations that receive a grant will be required to submit proof of funding use, including a financial record, upon completion of the project.
