About Westmoreland Drug & Alcohol Commission
Westmoreland Drug & Alcohol Commission functions as a Single County Authority built around substance use treatment and prevention in Westmoreland County. Its grantmaking shows a dense local network of providers, with large awards recurring to treatment organizations, prevention programs, and public-health partners that support people affected by alcohol, drugs, and overdose risk. One of the clearest patterns is the repeated support for Southwest Behavioral Care Inc in Greensburg and St Vincent Prevention Program in Latrobe, both of which appear across multiple years and receive some of the largest awards in the file. The commission also funds research and pass-through work, including support for the University of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Poison Center of UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside. Beyond treatment access, the foundation’s listed focus areas include overdose prevention through Narcan distribution, prescription drug take-back and disposal, problem gambling education, FASD awareness, and case management and recovery support. The overall picture is of a county-level intermediary moving public funds into direct-service and prevention infrastructure for residents dealing with substance use disorders.

How Westmoreland Drug & Alcohol Commission Gives
Typical grant size sits at a p25 of $18,478, a median of $35,254, and a p75 of $86,544, but the commission also makes much larger program awards that run into seven figures. The grant list shows repeated support to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, especially in treatment, prevention, and pass-through funding. That points to ongoing operating-style support rather than isolated one-off awards. The organization is a county authority, not an individual-giving funder, and it does not make program-related investments. The pattern is best described as local, recurring grantmaking tied to service delivery and prevention infrastructure.
