Overview

The Northern Chautauqua Community Grants Program, managed by the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation, aims to enhance the community's quality of life through strategic investments in nonprofit initiatives. Grants typically range from $1,000 to $15,000, fostering innovative solutions to local challenges and empowering residents to realize a healthier, more prosperous community.

The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation was established in 1986 for the betterment of all community residents. To us, northern Chautauqua is more than a geographic region – it’s the place we call home. Over the years, the NCCF has helped to create and fund many projects that enhance the lives of those who live here.
We seek to make strategic investments in the community and look to partner with nonprofit organizations to help create enduring solutions to often complex problems and to capitalize on promising opportunities. Effecting change requires both passion and measured thought, and we work hard to find proposals that encompass both.
