  Expenses $2,177,541 · Grants $1,804,398

• COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP THE FOUNDATION WORKS TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS COMMUNITY ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES AND ALSO SERVES AS A LEADER AND CONVENER. FOR YEARS WE HAVE HOSTED FREE EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS FOR LOCAL NONPROFITS ON A VARIETY OF TOPICS IMPACTING THE SECTOR. WHILE WE HAD BEEN PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS OF THOSE SESSIONS, WE KNEW THAT A MORE COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM WAS NEEDED. IN RESPONSE, WE DEVELOPED THE COMMUNITY PILLARS PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES IN-DEPTH EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS ON SIX BROAD TOPICS: MISSION, STRATEGY & EVALUATION; GOVERNANCE & LEADERSHIP; LEGAL COMPLIANCE & ETHICS; FINANCE & OPERATIONS; FUNDRAISING & RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT; AND PUBLIC AWARENESS & ADVOCACY. THE PILLARS PROGRAM WAS MODELED AFTER AN ACCREDITATION TOOL OF THE PENNSYLVANIA ASSOCIATION OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, A LEADING AUTHORITY ON NONPROFIT GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT. THE PILLARS PROGRAM CONVENED ITS SECOND ANNUAL CLASS IN THE FALL OF 2024 WITH A 25% INCREASE IN ENROLLMENT OVER LAST YEAR. LAUNCHED IN 2023, WCCF HOSTS THE COMMUNITY SNAPSHOT WEBSITE WHICH SERVES AS A COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT TOOL FOR BOTH CHARITIES AND DONORS. INFORMATION GLEANED FROM OUR RESEARCH, FOCUS GROUPS AND ANNUAL SURVEY IS CONTINUOUSLY ACCESSIBLE TO ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS. ON COMMUNITY SNAPSHOT, NONPROFITS HAVE THE ABILITY TO SPECIFY THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS WHICH IS A COMPONENT UNIQUE TO OUR WEBSITE. THE RESULT IS A CENTRALIZED LOCATION TO LEARN ABOUT BROAD COMMUNITY NEEDS, AS WELL AS THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF LOCAL NONPROFITS PROVIDING VALUABLE SERVICES IN OUR COMMUNITY. OUR DONORS HAVE QUICKLY EMBRACED THIS TOOL AND HAVE DIRECTED MORE THAN $100,000 IN GRANTS FROM DONOR ADVISED FUNDS TO NEEDS IDENTIFIED ON THE COMMUNITY SNAPSHOT WEBSITE. ANNUALLY, THE FOUNDATION HOSTS A GIVING EVENT, WCCF GIVES, WHICH IS CONDUCTED OVER SEVERAL MONTHS. COMMUNITY GIVING BEGINS ON JUNE 1 WITH CHECK CONTRIBUTIONS AND CONCLUDES ON A DESIGNATED DAY IN SEPTEMBER WHEN CREDIT CARD CONTRIBUTIONS ARE ALSO ACCEPTED FROM 8 A.M. TO 8 P.M. VIA A DEDICATED WEBSITE. THE WCCF DOES NOT CHARGE ANY FEES TO CHARITIES OR DONORS TO PARTICIPATE IN WCCF GIVES AND ANNUALLY SECURES A BONUS POOL TO ENCOURAGE GIVING. CUMULATIVELY, OVER $13,750,000 IN GRANTS HAS BEEN ISSUED THROUGH WCCF GIVES.

  Expenses $2,013,793 · Grants $1,781,394

• DONOR SERVICES THE FOUNDATION ACCEPTS AND ADMINISTERS A DIVERSITY OF GIFT AND FUND TYPES TO MEET THE VARIED PHILANTHROPIC OBJECTIVES OF OUR DONORS AND THE NEEDS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. WE WORK TO EDUCATE AND ENGAGE DONORS IN IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING COMMUNITY ISSUES AND GRANT-MAKING OPPORTUNITIES. AS DETAILED ABOVE, WE CREATED THE COMMUNITY SNAPSHOT WEBSITE, WHICH SERVES TO EDUCATE DONORS ABOUT COMMUNITY NEEDS. DONORS MAY ALSO LEARN ABOUT LOCAL CHARITIES THROUGH OUR PRIMARY WEBSITE, WHICH FEATURES A SEARCHABLE DATABASE OF MORE THAN 100 REGISTERED 501(C)(3) LOCAL CHARITIES PROVIDING SERVICES IN WASHINGTON COUNTY.

  Expenses $58,097

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
