At Community West Foundation, we believe philanthropy is more than a gift – it’s an investment. Rooted in compassion and guided by our mission, we partner with nonprofit organizations across Cleveland, Western Cuyahoga, and Lorain Counties to provide life-saving support where it’s needed most.

When others look away, we step forward. We fund solutions that restore dignity—filling pantries with food, providing warm clothing, and ensuring critical resources reach those who need them most. With deep connections to trusted nonprofits and a commitment to strategic giving, we empower donors to create lasting impact in the mission areas they are passionate about.

Together, we don’t just meet needs – we illuminate pathways to hope and opportunity.
