NCCF encourages eligible nonprofit organizations and community groups to learn more about the grant opportunities available through these funds. Through grantmaking, Community Donor Advised Funds (DAF's) are able to help local organizations advance projects, respond to emerging needs, and leverage additional resources for community benefit.
DAF's also encourage residents to work together across organizations and generations to identify priorities and create positive in a meaningful way. By connecting local generosity with local needs, the funds encourage philanthropy close to home, while strengthening communities and nonprofit organizations.
Since its incorporation in 1986, the NCCF has invested nearly $25 million in northern Chautauqua County through strategic grantmaking, targeted scholarships, and leadership and community collaborations. The NCCF is a tax-exempt charitable organization inherently committed to enhancing the northern Chautauqua community and encouraging local philanthropy.
