Application Deadline Approaching for George R. Davis Fund for Lowville

April 16, 2018 By admin

The deadline for non-profit organizations to apply for grant support through the George R. Davis Fund for Lowville at the Northern New York Community Foundation is this Friday, April 20.

Mr. Davis was a longtime Lowville resident and served as Lewis County judge for more than 20 years. He established this permanent charitable fund for the community following his death in 2010.

This year, up to $10,000 is available in grant funding through this community fund to support programs, projects and initiatives benefiting the quality of life in Lowville. Last year, seven projects received grant awards between $500 and $3,500.

“This is a terrific geographic resource for non-profit organizations impacting the quality of life in Lowville to consider,” said Max DelSignore, Community Foundation assistant director. “Whether the agency’s mission is focused in human services, arts and culture, education, conservation and environment, or in another sector, a grant from this charitable fund can be far-reaching and broadly support residents in the Lowville area.”

To learn more about the George R. Davis Fund, or receive an application, please contact Mr. DelSignore at (315) 782-7110 or via email at max@nnycf.org. Eligible applications must be postmarked by April 20, or be submitted electronically by the deadline date, to be considered.

The Northern New York Community Foundation makes grants to support the work of non-profit organizations and provides scholarships to individuals in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties. The Foundation has been built and added to from gifts (both while living and through their legacy plans) by individuals and organizations committed to meeting the changing needs of Northern New York, as well as supporting specific charitable interests and passions. The Community Foundation is located at the Northern New York Philanthropy Center in Watertown.

“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.
