Prepare Now for Fall 2019 Grant Request Deadline to Six Town Community Fund

September 18, 2019 By admin

Community Fund Accepting Proposals for Funding of Local Projects, Initiatives

    ADAMS  — Nonprofit organizations that serve the southern Jefferson County towns of Adams, Ellisburg, Henderson, Lorraine, Rodman, and Worth may now apply for 2019 grant funding from the Six Town Community Fund of the Northern New York Community Foundation.

    The fund supports projects, activities, and initiatives that enhance the quality of life in the targeted communities. Applications are due no later than Friday, November 15. Now is the time for potential applicants to identify their needs and start working on a project budget and lining up additional sources of funding. Nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organizations are eligible and encouraged to apply.

    “We welcome all nonprofit organizations that are working to improve the quality of life in our south Jefferson County communities to consider this opportunity,” said Dave Zembiec, Six Town Community Fund committee chairman. “We look forward to working with all who are committed to strengthening our region.”

Six Town Community Fund Committee member Barb Greene, right, Henderson, presents a $400 grant to Mary E. Bidwell, director, Henderson Free Library. The library received the grant during the 2018 funding cycle to help it celebrate the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the Henderson Social Library this year.

     Since 2015, the Six Town Community Fund has awarded a total of $27,550 in grants to 30 different community service projects and programs in southern Jefferson County. These have included community improvement projects, youth programs, new events, equipment purchases, and facility upgrades. Projects are evaluated based on their overall community benefit, effective use of grant money, and the ability of the applicant to successfully implement the project.

     Interested organizations should contact Max DelSignore, Northern New York Community Foundation assistant director at 315-782-7110, or max@nnycf.org, to discuss potential projects.

“Giving back is so important because it creates a culture that, the more we give, the better it is for everyone — those giving, and those receiving. That’s very, very important. We can always do more and we have to remember that.” — Donald Whitney, Adams Center

Don Whitney came from a family of givers. He believed that helping your community in any fashion is part of gratifying life. We are grateful for having known him and even more grateful that Don joined us in 2017 to participate in the Northern New York Community Podcast. His passing last weekend deeply saddens us. The fact that his story — in his own voice — is forever documented is a wonderful part of his permanent legacy that will inspire generations to come.

Learn more about what called Don to a life of service to his community and others in this 2017 episode from the second season of the Northern New York Community Podcast.
