To promote betterment programs for the citizens of the city of Westbrook, Maine.
Cornelia Warren Community Association’s recent grants are centered on physical projects in Westbrook, Maine, with several awards tied to construction, repairs, and community facilities. In 2024, the association gave $100,000 to the City of Westbrook for construction at the CWCA Rec Area and another $100,000 to the Westbrook Historical Society for construction repairs to Nathan Harris House. Those two grants show a pattern of funding capital work rather than general operating support. The foundation’s project grants also extend to recreation and local services. It awarded $75,000 to Presumpscot Regional Land Trust for the Rivermeadow Project and a second $75,000 grant to the same organization for construction of recreational trails. Additional grants supported roof replacement for Stephen W Manchester American Legion Post 62, a bus purchase for Intercultural Community Center, and flooring replacement at WCC. The stated purpose of the association is to promote betterment programs for the citizens of Westbrook, and its recent giving reflects that mission through site-specific, one-time project support.
