The Northern New York Community Foundation raises, manages, and administers an endowment and collection of funds for the benefit of the community, built and added to by gifts from individuals and organizations committed to meeting the changing needs of Northern New York.

Guided by a board of community leaders, the Foundation makes grants to support the work of non-profit organizations and provides scholarships to individuals in Jefferson and Lewis Counties. 

Donors who establish funds within the Foundation receive professional administration, significant tax savings, and the opportunity and satisfaction of benefiting our community now and in the future.
