“This is a wonderful organization doing so much good for our community. They were very kind and helpful assisting us with navigating the process of applying for support and were so personable during their on site visit. We are grateful for all of their good work and for all they do to help our region flourish.”

“Funding from CFSCNY has been integral to supporting our organization and its dual mission by helping to provide accessibility to the arts that would not otherwise exist in our rural region. The arts provide for greater enrichment and quality of life in our area; they encourage community engagement and community building through shared live experiences; and they are a very significant economic driver, ever contributing to the great and diverse cultural heritage New York is known for. We are thankful CFSCNY recognizes the impact the arts make and thank them for standing beside us as we strive to offer enriching, diverse and inclusive engaging arts experiences for communities in the Southern Tier. A STANDING OVATION goes to CFSCNY!”

“Community Foundation does a great job of working with Community Based Orgs to make sure they understand the entire grant process from writing to reporting. Super approachable staff who truly care about the people of south central New York."

“Very supportive and helpful staff. If they cannot offer a specific resource, they can point you in the direction of someone who can. Amazing women who I cannot say enough good things about"

“If there was an official "safe space" for nonprofit leaders in the Southern Tier, it would be with you and the rest of the team at the Community Foundation for South Central New York.”

Ironically, the easiest part of this whole process was working with Community Foundation! The grant process itself was so streamlined, we were awarded enough money to actually accomplish the mission, the checks were cut superfast once we had the go ahead and Tina was very helpful and patient along the way!

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for all of you who dedicate so much time and effort in to helping individuals and non profits in and around our area. You have been the stepping stone for so many by offering your services and quite frankly, none of us could do it without you-so THANK YOU.

“We all really appreciate how supportive and wonderful your team has been over the years with us.  Thank you so very much for being so kind, approachable, fun, and supportive of us.  You all have really helped us grow and build new programs and partnerships.  Thank you, thank you!!!”

“We especially want to thank the Women’s Fund of the Community Foundation for their generosity and assistance. Without the help of the grant many of these needs (emergency short-term supplies and baby items) would have been difficult to meet.”

“We are so grateful for the support and are really excited about getting a (very small) hygiene pantry going. You guys are so ahead of the Foundation curve and I can't express how grateful we are for your support and vision. Thank you!”

“Our grant funds came quickly and seamlessly, as has all past and present communication with the Foundation.”
