The Community Foundation for the Alleghenies (CFA) has announced $314,935 in Fall 2022 grant awards for 90 nonprofit organizations that serve Bedford, Cambria, Indiana, and Somerset counties. This grant round is one of the Foundation’s two annual small grant rounds (Spring and Fall) that support a broad spectrum of local efforts, from arts and culture to community building projects, and more.

“For the Fall 2022 grant round, with the price of everyday items on the rise and creating a hardship for so many, our Distribution Committee prioritized requests that addressed basic human needs,” said Angie Berzonski, CFA Associate Director. “A few examples are the upgrades needed for the Interfaith Community Food Pantry in Nanty Glo, the Children and Youth Advisory Board in Bedford’s purchase of warm winter clothing for children, the Somerset Salvation Army’s project to support heating costs for low income families, and Indiana County Community Action’s emergency shelter program.”
