WILLIAMSBURG — The Williamsburg Community Foundation recently announced that Scott Andrews-Weckerly will join the staff as Director of Community Investment.
In what it called a newly expanded role, WCF said Andrews-Weckerly will oversee the foundation’s grantmaking and scholarship programs and will also help shape and implement new initiatives that emerge from its 2025–27 Strategic Plan. He starts in the new role Tuesday, May 27.
According to WCF, the Director of Community Investment evolved from the former Program Officer role, which focused primarily on grant and scholarship administration.
“This role reflects where we’re headed as a foundation,” said Nancy Coté Sullivan, President and CEO. “It’s about making smart, intentional investments that support long-term change, and Scott brings the skills and passion to help us do just that.”
Andrews-Weckerly comes to WCF after serving as Senior Program Officer for Economic Prosperity at the Community Foundation for a greater Richmond, where he led discretionary grantmaking and strategic partnerships focused on housing affordability, homelessness, and adult workforce development. A licensed master social worker, Andrews-Weckerly brings more than a decade of experience in direct service, program design and administration, according to WCF.
He previously managed the CFGR’s nonprofit capacity building and leadership development portfolio and has presented nationally on the intersection of housing and health, WCF said. He also serves on the City of Richmond’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund Supervisory Board and as Vice Chair of the Greater Richmond Continuum of Care — the region’s network of providers serving people experiencing homelessness.
Born and raised in San Diego, Andrews-Weckerly holds degrees from Elon College and the University of Southern California, and he and his family have lived in James City County for the past nine years.
Andrews-Weckerly’s arrival coincides with the departure of Ginny Gasink from her role as Program Officer at the Williamsburg Community Foundation to pursue her passion for social work. Gasink has served the foundation since 2016.
“She has a real heart for this community, and she has helped shape our programmatic work over the last several years,” said Sullivan. “While we’re sad to see her go, we know she’s moving toward work that’s deeply meaningful to her.”
