# The Flamecrest Foundation

> A volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 39-3341536) supporting community service leadership in southwestern Pennsylvania through scholarships and micro-grants.

Founded in 2025, currently serving Greensburg Salem High School with plans to expand throughout Westmoreland County. Operated by a three-person volunteer board with no paid staff and minimal overhead — every dollar donated goes directly to the individuals and projects we serve.
