Since 1927, The Wyomissing Foundation has been dedicated to improving the quality of life in their community through charitable support. They fund diverse projects that include the work of local community organizations and major global initiatives. The Foundation focuses on addressing changing community needs by supporting various categories of grants.
The Wyomissing Foundation offers grants in several categories to meet the evolving needs of the community. These categories currently include Community Grants, Economic Development Grants, Family Grants, and a grant program for Pandemic Recovery and Sustainability. Community Grants focus on addressing issues within Berks County across various sectors such as arts and culture, health and human services, environment, education, or community development. These grants aim to establish new initiatives, expand or enhance existing programs, support organizational development, contribute to capital campaigns, and provide limited general operational support. Additionally, the foundation has introduced a new grant program to aid in pandemic recovery and sustainability efforts. Organizations interested in applying for Community Grants must contact the foundation staff or submit a letter of intent as a preliminary step. Unsolicited proposals for Economic Development and Thun Family Grants are not generally accepted, indicating a preference for collaborative discussions prior to application submission.
