- Collaborative Granting: Requests from nonprofit organizations who are collaborating with other nonprofits and applying for assistance in areas of special need in the Lake George Region and surrounding areas with an emphasis on programs for children, healthcare and the arts. Preferential treatment for collaborating organizations will be considered in the review process. Please note that information on each of the organizations will be requested in the application.
