PROFILE: Established in 1992, the Greater Pulaski Community Fund is an affiliate fund of the Community Foundation of Central New York and awards its own grants. This foundation has strict geographic foci, but serves a broad range of interests. Funding topics include education, health, social services, the arts, civic concerns, and the preservation of historic resources.
The foundation gives out approximately seven to 10 new grants per year. It has an advisory committee that looks to support innovative programs that address local problems. Specifically, it looks for practical approaches, cooperation among agencies, the generation of professional and volunteer support, organizational strengthening efforts, and prevention efforts. However, the foundation does not support annual operating budgets, medical or academic research, sectarian purposes, endowments, loans, or grants to individuals.
Foundation grants are often between $1,000 and $5,000 each. Learn more about community fund giving and past grantees on the funder’s website. Grantmaking is restricted to groups that serve the village of Pulaski, New York and the town of Richland in Oswego County, New York. All grants must serve the greater Pulaski area.
This community fund accepts unsolicited grant applications from local nonprofits. The annual application deadline is in mid-May, and grantseekers must submit their applications via online system. Direct general questions to the staff at 315-422-9538 or pulaskigrants@cnycf.org.
