The Central New York Community Foundation is a public charity focused on managing private donations to support local charities and addressing critical issues through community projects. Founded in 1927, it aims to strengthen nonprofits and has distributed over $230 million in Central New York, being the region's largest charitable foundation.
The grant programs offered by the Central New York Community Foundation focus on bringing about positive change, honoring diversity, and building inclusion within Onondaga, Madison, Cayuga, Cortland, and Oswego counties. One of these is the Greater Pulaski Community Endowment Fund, which supports nonprofit organizations in the village of Pulaski and the town of Richland in addressing community needs through innovative projects in arts and culture, civic affairs, education, health, human services, and the environment.
Preference is afforded to initiatives aimed at enhancing organizational capabilities and the inception of novel projects over the continuation of existing projects or programs.
