Every dollar received supports WCA Foundation and its mission to sustain the current and future healthcare services of UPMC Chautauqua. Donations large or small are welcomed for the purposes of building the endowments for UPMC Chautauqua or as grants for immediate needs of the hospital.

Donor directed gifts make the most impact when placed in the Foundation’s Unrestricted Fund where the interest earned can support a wide variety of the grants to enhance the healthcare services of UPMC Chautauqua. Donors may also specify a special need which they wish to support through one of the Foundation’s Restricted Funds or create a fund for that purpose. Planned giving opportunities are available.

The WCA Foundation gave UPMC Chautauqua $627,556 in grants in 2021 and has recorded $20,128,473 in assets as of 12/31/21. While the Foundation holds 25 Restricted Funds and only five Unrestricted Funds, the majority of the Foundation’s assets are unrestricted in grant giving capacity to UPMC Chautauqua.
