Deadline: 22-Oct-21
The Northern New York Community Foundation is offering COVID-19 Community Support Fund to help partner agencies and other nonprofit organizations in Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties that work to support essential needs for thousands of neighbors.
The fund’s main purpose has been to assist community-based food pantries and non-government-funded school-based programs with critical food supplies. They are working to flexibly respond to other requests for essential support and rapidly deploy resources to help North Country nonprofits deliver aid to those impacted by the coronavirus pandemic and its consequences.
