The CNY85 Giving Project Has Come to a Close
The Central New York Community Foundation would like to thank everyone that participated in our year-long celebration of the Community Foundation's 85th Anniversary. Over the course of 2012, The CNY85 Giving Project awarded grants to four nonprofit organizations that are working to improve the quality of life in Central New York.
The project that received the most public votes at the end of each quarter received $8,500. The four project themes were based on the greatest needs of our community, as demonstrated by our collaborative community indicators project, CNYVitals.
