The Northern New York Community Foundation -

Working with donors to benefit the community through grants and scholarships since 1929

The Northern New York Community Foundation raises, manages and administers an endowment and collection of funds for the benefit of the community. We use our earnings to support a program of college scholarships for area residents and grants to non-profit organizations to improve our community’s quality of life.

Since 1929, we have helped make good things happen in northern New York. We serve as a resource for local charitable organizations, donors, professional advisors and non-profit organizations.

Through the generosity of many donors, we have been able to invest in a permanent endowment now valued at almost $37 million, and have awarded more than this amount in grants and scholarships.

The Foundation’s role in the community goes beyond grants and scholarships. We bring people together to discuss local community problems and work to find creative solutions. And, we work to help donors achieve their charitable objectives now and for generations to come.

Since 1957, the Northern New York Community Foundation has been a member of the Council on Foundations, a national membership organization that serves the public good by promoting and enhancing responsible and effective philanthropy. More information is available at their web site, www.cof.org.

Mission

The Northern New York Community Foundation raises, manages and administers an endowment and collection of funds for the benefit of the community, built and added to by gifts from individuals and organizations committed to meeting the changing needs of Northern New York.

Guided by a board of community leaders, the Foundation makes grants to support the work of non-profit organizations and provides scholarships to individuals in Jefferson and Lewis Counties. Donors who establish funds within the Foundation receive professional administration, significant tax savings, and the opportunity and satisfaction of benefiting our community now and in the future.

DYK JB Johnson

When you asked John B. Johnson about a name or place in Northern New York, you received a history lesson. Born and raised in Watertown, he was the North Country's staunchest advocate. He succeeded his father as editor and publisher of the Watertown Times in 1949 and held those positions until his death in 2001. He brought television to Watertown in the early 1950s. He was active in and honored by many professional groups at the local, state and national levels. Upon his death a fund in his name was established at the Foundation.

John B. Johnson cared deeply for his community...You too can count on the Northern New York Community Foundation to turn caring into commitment. We make it easy to be a philanthropist now and for generations to come. Please contact us for more information on how you can start a fund at the Foundation.
