Grant Description
Grants of up to $10,000 to New York nonprofit organizations, agencies, and schools for projects to benefit local residents in eligible locations. Areas of focus include arts and culture, health, human services, education, civic affairs, and the environment. Eligible applicants serve residents of Cayuga County.

The Leadership Council looks for innovative programs that address problems to be solved, or opportunities to be seized, in Cayuga County. Priority is given to capacity-building activities and new projects within an organization rather than ongoing projects/programs. The Foundation invites proposals that:

  • Suggest practical approaches to community problems.
  • Promote cooperation among agencies without duplicating services.
  • Generate community support, both professional and volunteer.
  • Strengthen an agency’s effectiveness or stability.
  • Address prevention as well as remediation.
