About Us
Since the inception of the Pawling Community Foundation in 1992,
the PCF has supported local organizations and Village and Town governments in the area of the arts, cultural activities, tourism, and recreation. We are best known for the completion of the Village Green, for which we raised 1.5 million from the community and additional grants. The green is enjoyed by many, and hosts the farmers market from June – September as well as the arts and crafts festival.
In 2022 we donated $100,000 to the town as the primary benefactor for the new Great Lawn at Lakeside Park.
In 2023, we directed our efforts to local organizations by awarding 10 grants totaling $25,000. In 2024, due the generosity of the Pawling community residents we were able to increase our Grant program to $40,000! And in 2025, the generosity continued with over $60,000 going to Pawling not for profit organizations looking to make Pawling a better place for all.
We hope you will help us to continue investing in our community!.
If you can't attend our gala or can't contribute at one of our sponsorship levels, please consider a donation that fits your budget. Thank you!
