GRANTS

Updated 4/22/19

The mission of the Community Foundation of Upper St. Clair is "to build a sense of community by supporting activities and programs that enhance the quality of life for our residents." In order to accomplish this mission, funds are secured through grants from donations, fund raisers, funds received for special projects or memorials, other foundations, and the state government.

All grant applications are reviewed by our Board of Trustees. When evaluating a grant request, the Board applies four basic criteria:

New Initiatives
Many avenues may be taken to accomplish the Foundation’s mission. The Board seeks to encourage new, different, and creative ideas through the grant funding process.
Scope
Projects that have a large audience can best meet the Foundation’s mission and foster a sense of community by enhancing the quality of life for the people of Upper St. Clair.
Long-term Impact
Projects that receive funding should have a lasting effect, be it concrete or abstract. The project also should fall under one of the Foundation’s three focus areas: Arts, Health, and STEM.
- Arts includes all Fine and Performing Arts programs.
- Health includes all fitness-related activities, health initiatives for all ages, and any new ideas to help the general well-being of the community
- STEM includes all science, technology, engineering and mathematics programs.
