Board of Community Action
Grant Recipients

Do you volunteer for a group that could use a small grant? Do you work with a group that provides food, housing, job training, health care, education, or other social services in the greater Washington, D.C. area, or help a group working in another region or country? You can tell the group about Westmoreland's grants of $500 to $1000 to help accomplish its goals.

What is the Community Action Grant Program? Each year, Westmoreland's Board of Community Action (BCA) distributes funds from the annual bazaar and offerings made at Easter and Christmas to approximately a dozen organizations.

What are the criteria? BCA considers the following questions in making grants to non-profit organizations:

1) Do Westmorelanders currently volunteer in the organization?

2) Would a grant promote individual or community self-reliance?

3) Would a grant offer opportunities for ecumenical or intra-denominational cooperation?

4) Would a small grant make a key difference for this organization?

How does a group apply? The grant guideline and the grant application form are posted on this website. Applications must arrive in the church office by February 28. BCA notifies recipients and the church of grant decisions as soon as the grants are awarded.
