Many Donors, Big Impact

The Community Impact Fund (CIF) unites donors to tackle critical issues like homelessness and food insecurity. By pooling contributions, we maximize impact-ensuring every dollar, big or small, supports meaningful change.

The CIF was created when a local philanthropist partnered with Community West Foundation, inspiring others to join in and trust our thorough vetting process. By combining resources, we ensure that every contribution goes directly to nonprofits providing services. Each quarter, these funds provide unexpected support to grantees-strengthening the vital work of organizations addressing basic needs in our community.

How It Works

  • Your contribution, no matter the size, combines with other donors’ funds to support nonprofits receiving Community West grants each quarter.
  • 100% of your donation goes to our mission.
  • More donors mean a greater impact on strengthening essential community services.
