The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation invites the public to attend a celebration of local philanthropy during Community Foundation Week. This week is dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating the hundreds of community foundations across the country, and their impact in their communities.

The open house reception will be held at the Fredonia Technology Incubator on Friday, November 18th from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm. Recipients of Fall Community Benefit Grants will be presented their awards during the reception. This is a great opportunity for current donors to see their philanthropy in action, and for other interested community members to learn more about NCCF and some of our partnering organizations! Refreshments will be served. There will be an opportunity for those in attendance to win a grant to award to the organization of their choice within the northern Chautauqua region.

NCCF encourages all who have a shared interest in local philanthropy and our community to attend and celebrate with us! Please contact Leslie Wille, Lwille@nccfoundation.org, or Eileen Ardillo, Eardillo@nccfoundation.org, or call our office at 716-366-4892 to let us know that you plan to attend.
