WLF GRANTS

The WLF recently unveiled plans to have three pillars of support within the Westminster community: Basic Needs, Conservation and Arts & Culture. We have spent the past several months identifying projects with funding gaps that would not otherwise be met, and that will have a positive impact on our community.
We have finalized the 6 projects that we will focus on in 2020, and some cases, for a period of time beyond this year:
  • Conservation: Community-Supported Agriculture & Equine Therapy
  • Arts & Culture: Shipping Container Art Gallery & Community Theater
  • Basic Needs: Shower & Laundry Truck Program & Basic Needs for Homeless Westminster Students

As we focus on fundraising for these projects, we will take a strategic pause from our traditional community grants program in 2020. We do anticipate resuming the community grants program at a future date.

Supplying Basic Needs For Homeless Students In Westminster
There are enough homeless students in Westminster to fill 40 classrooms. This means that more than 1,000 students in our community are homeless or unstably housed. We are working to supply these students with the most basic items they need: food, clothing, school supplies, etc.

Westminster Community Services Network
Every other month, the Westminster Legacy Foundation gathers members of the service-based community to share information and collaborate. The individuals that attend serve at nonprofits, government agencies, businesses and religious institutions. Anyone interested in fostering a collaborative environment focused on improving the quality of life for all Westminster citizens is welcome to attend.
In 2022, this informal group meets the first Thursday, every other month, virtually from 9:00 – 10:00am. If you have questions about the group or are interested in attending, please contact us at info.westyfoundation@gmail.com
