We are pleased to announce the Community Foundation’s new “Grants for Good” program for tri-county organizations seeking funding support.

The Foundation is introducing “Grants for Good” in each county to encourage nonprofits to submit a funding request that directly impacts their mission and quality of life for residents in each region. The program application and format mirrors the Foundation’s previous “General Grant Program.”

Nonprofit organizations serving residents of Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties are encouraged to apply by Friday, Feb. 20, 2026, for first quarter funding consideration.

Complete details below.
