The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation's Today, Tomorrow, Together Campaign is a community-wide effort to invest in our community’s future. Launched in 2021, the campaign's goal was ambitious: to establish 50 new Community Funds and grow the endowment by $10 million. Why the focus on Community Funds? These funds create a permanent source of charitable support that will help local nonprofits serve our region not just today, but for generations to come. Because Community Funds are flexible, they allow NCCF to respond to emerging needs, new opportunities, and unexpected challenges as they arise.
The community’s response to the campaign has been inspiring. As the five-year campaign nears completion, donors’ generosity throughout our region has brought the Community Foundation within reach of its $10 million goal.
Now is an especially meaningful time to support the campaign. Thanks to an anonymous donor and longtime friend of the Foundation, every new gift made to any Community Fund, or every new Community Fund established, will be matched dollar for dollar through the $100,000 Double the Difference Challenge. This opportunity is available only until the full $100,000 in matching funds has been claimed. Your gift can go twice as far in supporting our community’s future.
Creating a lasting impact doesn’t require extraordinary wealth. Every person can help shape the future. Whether you support an existing fund, establish your own, or include NCCF in your will, trust, or retirement plan, your generosity becomes part of a lasting source of support for the causes and organizations you care about most.
When you support the Today, Tomorrow, Together Campaign, you’re doing more than making a donation. You’re helping create a stronger future for northern Chautauqua County and ensuring the organizations that enrich our community have the resources they need for years to come.
Every gift tells a story of caring, community, and hope. Together, we can build a legacy that will benefit our families, friends, and neighbors for generations.
For generations, the people of northern Chautauqua County have come together to help neighbors, strengthen local organizations, and build a community we are proud to call home. As our region grows and changes, so do the opportunities and challenges we face. The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation (NCCF) exists to ensure our community remains strong, resilient, and prepared for whatever the future may bring.
