Welcome to the Staunton Farm Foundation
The Staunton Farm Foundation is a family foundation established in 1937 in accordance with the wishes of Matilda Staunton Craig, who wanted her estate to be used to benefit people with mental illness.
Following the direction set in her will and in response to current needs, the Trustees of the Staunton Farm Foundation make grants to support treatment, services, and systems improvements for children, youth, and adults with behavioral health issues. Grants are limited to non-profit organizations that benefit people in these ten counties of Southwestern Pennsylvania:
| Allegheny | Greene |
| Armstrong | Indiana |
| Beaver | Lawrence |
| Butler | Washington |
| Fayette | Westmoreland |
Our Mission
The Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of people who live with mental illness and/or substance use disorders. The Foundation works to enhance behavioral health treatment and support by advancing best practices through grant making to non-profit organizations in ten southwestern Pennsylvania counties.
