The Central Susquehanna Community Foundation was established in 1999 as the Berwick Health and Wellness Foundation and changed to the current name in 2003. The Central Susquehanna Community Foundation serves as the administrator of the Berwick Health and Wellness Fund, but it has also expanded its mission and geographic area in order to provide a wide range of charitable giving services.

Although the community foundation serves an expanded region, the Berwick Health and Wellness Fund will continue to provide grants only in its original service area, which includes 23 boroughs and townships in greater-Berwick.
