Up to $15,000 Available Through the George R. Davis Fund for Lowville
WATERTOWN — Nonprofit organizations that serve residents in the Village and Town of Lowville should apply by Friday, April 23, for 2021 grant support through the George R. Davis Fund for Lowville of the Northern New York Community Foundation.
Mr. Davis was a longtime Lowville resident and served as a Lewis County judge for more than 20 years. This permanent charitable fund for the community became active following his death in 2010. This year, up to $15,000 is available in funding through this geographic-specific fund to support programs, projects, and initiatives that seek to improve quality of life in Lowville.
A three-person committee reviews grant applications for the George R. Davis Fund each year. The committee evaluates each proposal on its merits using the “greatest positive impact on the community” as guiding criteria in making an award. Projects may be large or small.
