OUR GRANTS
Our grant recipients have represented a broad spectrum of activity, from a Master Gardener group building gardens for adult living facilities and child care facilities under the auspices of Cornell Cooperative Extension, to an Adirondack Mountain Club initiative to give fourth graders an introduction to the outdoors, to a collaborative effort with other regional foundations to improve childhood literacy and lay a better foundation for the future in children under age five.
We are especially proud of our accomplishments achieved in active collaboration with such entities as Cornell Cooperative Extension, Clinton County Office for Aging, Senior Citizen Council of Clinton County, and Adirondack Foundation.
