Washington County Community Foundation

The Close to Home Disaster and Emergency Fund awarded a $5,000 grant to Genesis of Pittsburgh to conduct "Essential Needs Days" at its Washington location.

The COVID-19 crisis has left many unemployed and without food and other essentials. The Close to Home Disaster and Emergency Fund has awarded well over $150,000 in grants to charities providing food to our neighbors in need.

Health care workers are on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic, risking their lives to save ours. The Close to Home Disaster and Emergency Fund has given grants totaling more than $100,000 to three local hospitals and a senior care facility to purchase masks and other equipment needed for direct patient care.

Help a local charity address urgent needs during the pandemic and our generous partners at State Farm will match your donation now through Father's Day.

WCCF Announces Changes to WCCF Gives In Response to COVID-19
In the seven years that the Washington County Community Foundation has sponsored its annual day of giving, WCCF Gives, $5.3 million has been raised to support charities in Washington County. For many charities, WCCF Gives has become their primary activity to secure annual operating support. However, in 2020, WCCF Gives will likely take on an even more critical role, as this event may determine if some local charities will be able to survive.
