About Phelps Community Foundation
Phelps Community Foundation focuses its philanthropy on supporting local healthcare infrastructure, exemplified by a substantial capital grant to Phelps Memorial Hospital for telemetry and facility improvements. The foundation appears to prioritize strengthening medical services in its immediate community through one-off, project-specific funding rather than broad programmatic support.

About Phelps Community Foundation
A $275,000 grant to Phelps Memorial Hospital Center for telemetry and capital work stands out in Phelps Community Foundation Inc’s recent record. That award points to a pattern of funding health infrastructure first, with grants used to strengthen clinical capacity, facility improvements, and medical technology in the communities it serves. The foundation’s giving is centered on healthcare needs and wellness for residents of Westchester County, with Rockland County also included in its grant programs. Recent grants show a strong mix of direct service support and capacity-building for local providers. Westchester Community Health Center received $150,000 for high-quality primary, preventative, and affordable health care and support services, while Tarrytown Volunteer Ambulance Corps also received $150,000 for emergency medical service work. Other awards have supported organizations serving people with developmental disabilities, youth exposed to violence, and patients needing in-home or community-based care. Across those grants, the foundation appears to favor local institutions that deliver care directly or expand the systems that make care possible.
What Phelps Community Foundation Funds
Healthcare access is a consistent theme. Westchester Community Health Center received $150,000 to provide primary, preventative, and affordable health care and support services, and Open Door Family Medical Center received $125,000 as a federally qualified health center. Emergency response is another clear lane: Tarrytown Volunteer Ambulance Corps received $150,000 as a volunteer emergency medical service agency, and Irvington Volunteer Ambulance Corp received $125,000 to help fund a NYS DOH EMS training center and EMT course. The foundation also supports behavioral health and trauma services. Joe Torre Safe at Home Foundation received $125,000 to provide healing services to youth traumatized by exposure to violence, and Westchester Jewish Community Services received $125,000 for mental health training, delivery, and trauma. Support for people with developmental disabilities appears as well, with The Arc Westchester Foundation receiving $125,000 for children, teens, and adults with developmental disabilities, including individuals on the autism spectrum, and their families.
