    About North East Community Foundation

    North East Community Foundation’s recent grantmaking is anchored by large, multi-purpose awards to North East institutions, including a $157,239 grant to Lake Shore Railway Historical Society Inc for various projects and a $102,217 grant to Fuller Hose Company for various projects. Those awards sit alongside a steady stream of support for schools, emergency services, arts groups, and local civic organizations in North East and Erie County. The foundation’s giving is local and entirely in Pennsylvania, with grants directed to a mix of charitable organizations and scholarship recipients. The foundation operates as a community foundation and uses flexible funding patterns that include general operations support, project-based grants, and scholarships. Its portfolio includes both annual scholarship funds and the General Community Grants program, which funds specific, tangible projects intended to benefit the North East community. Recent grantees also include North East Education Foundation, Downtown North East Inc, North East Historical Society, and McCord Memorial Library, showing a repeated emphasis on institutions tied to community life, education, preservation, and public services.

    What North East Community Foundation Funds

    Education and scholarships are a core part of the foundation’s work. It supports the Robert Whitney Erie County Farm Bureau Agricultural Scholarship for children and grandchildren of Erie County Farm Bureau members, the Dorothy Bertges-Thornton Scholarship for graduating seniors with financial need, and the Thayer Fonda Scholarship for a North East High School senior pursuing music studies. Community development is another clear focus. Through Community Grants and General Community Grants, the foundation funds charitable organizations for specific, tangible projects that benefit the North East community, with applications accepted from tax-exempt organizations and fiscal agents. Youth activities also appear in this stream. Health and safety-related giving shows up in grants to Fuller Hose Company and Crescent Hose Co, while arts and culture support includes awards to the Erie Philharmonic and North East Arts Council. Historic preservation is reflected in funding for North East Historical Society and Lake Shore Railway Historical Society Inc.
