Making An Impact In Our Community

Since 2001, the Westminster Community Foundation has worked to connect and partner with people and businesses who care about our community and contribute to make Westminster a great place to live, learn, play and prosper. We have supported a variety of nonprofits through our community grant program, and WCF has also raised funds for large-scale community projects, such as the Armed Forces Tribute Garden, Jessica Ridgeway Memorial Park and the Nature Playground at Westminster Station Park.
In 2020, WCF met with several community members and listened to other service providers, nonprofits, faith-based organizations and local governments, and we saw the need to support programs, projects and initiatives that focus on health equity, arts, culture & education and conservation. With your help and resources, the Westminster Community Foundation will support projects within each focus area. Our vision is to help build and sustain a thriving, dynamic and exceptional city of Westminster in which to live, learn, play and prosper!

Supporting Health Equity
We believe in giving all Westminster residents the opportunity to thrive. WCF supports efforts that work to meet the health, social and economic needs of members of our community that would not otherwise be met.

Fostering Conservation & Outdoor Recreation
With 15% of its land dedicated to Open Space, Westminster is no stranger to conservation. WCF is proud to support initiatives that strengthen conservation efforts, help to preserve Open Space areas, educate people to become  environmental stewards and bolster projects that offer opportunities for healthy outdoor recreation.

Elevating Arts, Culture & Education
Boasting more than 100 pieces of public art, over 25 sites of historical interest and an abundance of classes and special events, Westminster is no stranger to the Arts & Culture scene. WCF is working to elevate the many forms of arts and cultures within our great city. We endeavor to ensure a more inclusive atmosphere that embraces all the wonders that make the arts and our cultures sing. Let’s create a vibrant, diverse community for all to enjoy and share art and culture.

Furthermore, the Westminster Community Foundation promotes the academic and future success of the youth in our community. By working with Westminster schools and learning about their needs, WCF is finding ways to support educational and extracurricular activities that create equitable opportunities for all students. We are starting a campaign to annually raise funds for scholarships for graduating seniors for their quest of post-secondary education.
