Westchester County Community Fundraising: All Town and Neighborhood Guides
Westchester County is one of New York's most diverse and complex communities — a county that contains multitudes, from the estate villages of the Sound Shore to the dense cities of the southern tier, from the river towns on the Hudson to the inland suburbs of central Westchester. KindRise has built guides for every part of the county. Find your community below.

Frequently asked questions
Which Westchester towns have fundraising guides?
KindRise has guides for Yonkers, White Plains, New Rochelle, Mount Vernon, Scarsdale, Bronxville, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Rye, Port Chester, Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow, Ossining, Dobbs Ferry, Hastings-on-Hudson, and Pelham — plus county-wide guides for cultural communities and community channels.
What makes fundraising in Westchester different from other places?
Westchester County spans an unusually wide range of communities — from some of the wealthiest villages in the US (Scarsdale, Bronxville) to working-class cities (Yonkers, Mount Vernon, Port Chester) with large Latino, Haitian, Jamaican, and other immigrant communities. Effective fundraising looks very different across these communities — the channels, languages, institutions, and cultural traditions that work in Port Chester are completely different from those in Scarsdale.
