FDIC-Insured - Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government
Since 1994, The Washington Financial Charitable Foundation has been a proud partner in strengthening our communities. We believe banking is more than just business—it’s about creating a lasting legacy. With over a century of service, we’ve reinvested millions of dollars and countless volunteer hours into Southwestern Pennsylvania, making a real impact where it matters most.
Every dollar we give supports health and human services, community development, and education. From funding local nonprofits to sponsoring cherished community events, we’ve had the honor of meeting the people whose lives are directly touched by these efforts. For example, in 2024 alone we poured over $650,000 back into the region through grants, partnerships, and sponsorships.
We’re here to make funding accessible for those who make a difference. Our foundation supports initiatives that focus on health, community redevelopment, and education. To make it easy, all grant requests can be submitted electronically using our standard application. Together, we can create positive change in our neighborhoods.
