Our Mission

The West Chop Community Fund is an outgrowth of the commitment by members of the West Chop Club to better understand and to serve the leading unmet needs on Martha’s Vineyard.  We do this by partnering with select Island nonprofits such that the WCCF grants would have a meaningful and substantive impact and make a difference.  The WCCF’s mission is a broad one with an initial focus on the following seven areas: affordable housing; children’s health, welfare & recreation; clean water; education & workforce development; food insecurity; health & aging; and substantive use disorders.  The WCCF in its grant decisions also seeks projects that offer West Chop Club members an opportunity to volunteer and engage with the broader island community.
