About our Westchester COVID-19 Response

We asked and you responded.

When New York State paused, we raised nearly $2 million and distributed $861,500 in
40 grants to local nonprofits. Through the generosity of our donors, we will never stop serving Westchester’s most vulnerable populations.

Westchester Community Foundation grants encourage full participation of hard-to-count communities.

Everyone Counts

Westchester Community Foundation, a division of The New York Community Trust, is one of
11 funders on the steering committee of the New York State Equity Fund. This statewide collaborative of 38 foundations and financial institutions serves in an advisory capacity on the Fund’s grantmaking with the shared goal of reaching hard-to-count communities in the 2020 Census. People of color, immigrants, residents of low-income households and rural households, and young children are among those who have been undercounted historically.
