Arts, Culture, Recreation & Civic Engagement Projects Can Now Enter Giving Project

Arts, Culture, Recreation & Civic Engagement Projects Can Now Enter The CNY85 Giving Project! 

The Central New York Community Foundation is now accepting applications from arts, culture, recreation and civic engagement projects for The CNY85 Giving Project.

Enter now at CNY85.org.

Over the course of the year, The CNY85 Giving Project is awarding grants to four nonprofit organizations working to improve the quality of life in Central New York. The project that receives the most public votes at the end of each quarter will receive $8,500.

The Community Foundation is now accepting applications for projects that engage community members in CNY’s rich culture, heritage and natural resources. Supporting a vibrant culture in Central New York means encouraging community participation in its various forms—from arts programming, to recreational activities, to volunteerism and community involvement. Projects should seek to strengthen this cultural fabric and bring together diverse populations. Qualified public charities that serve Onondaga or Madison Counties are invited to enter The CNY85 Giving Project only once during the 2012 calendar year.
