Foundation announces Sept. 1 deadline for grant applications

The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation (NCCF) is accepting Letters of Interest to the Community Benefit Grant program until Sept. 1, 2019.

Proposals must efficiently and effectively address identified community needs or encourage new opportunities. Letters of Interest should include a brief project description, the estimated number of people impacted by the project, the amount of funding requested and contact information. Letters are not to exceed two (2) pages. Electronic submission via email to eardillo@nccfoundation.org is strongly encouraged. Guidelines are available at www.nccfoundation.org/grants-programs or by contacting the NCCF office at 716-366-4892.

The Grants Committee will review each letter before selecting projects for further evaluation. Those organizations will then be requested to submit a full application. The committee gives priority to applications that address immediate and essential community needs, promising opportunities, and projects with the most significant community impact.

Twice a year (March and September), the NCCF considers grant proposals from nonprofit organizations that serve the community. Twelve organizations received spring 2019 Community Benefit Grants totaling $62,839. The awards are made possible due to generous donors who have established Community Benefit Funds at the NCCF.

For help in submitting a Letter of Interest or for additional information, contact Eileen Ardillo, Program Coordinator at 366-4892 or eardillo@nccfoundation.org.

It is an organization inherently committed to enriching the northern Chautauqua community and encouraging local philanthropy.
