$19,530 Awarded as Number of Requests for Support Sets New Record
WATERTOWN — The Youth Philanthropy Council of the Northern New York Community Foundation recently awarded $19,530 in grants to eight North Country nonprofit organizations that will support a wide range of community programs and projects.
Each year, the Council reviews requests from tri-county agencies to fund projects or initiatives that positively impact the quality of life in Jefferson, Lewis or St. Lawrence counties. In addition to researching and recommending grants, Council members visit several nonprofit organizations, learn about grantee stewardship, community investment and leadership, and nonprofit sustainability.
