Summary
This funding opportunity is designed to strengthen community organizations that serve residents within a defined county in the northeastern United States. The program brings together a network of local contributors who pool their support each year to make significant awards that help nonprofits expand or launch impactful work that addresses critical needs in their community. The overarching goal is to support initiatives that have measurable benefits for the people and places they serve, from enhancing service capacity to sustaining long-term growth and innovation.
