Up to $10,000 Available for Nonprofits that Serve the Village, Town of Lowville

March 10, 2020 By admin

George R. Davis Fund for Lowville Announces 2020 Funding Opportunities

    Nonprofit organizations that serve residents in the Village and Town of Lowville are encouraged to apply for 2020 grant funding 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 $10,000 is available in grant funding through this community fund to support programs, projects and initiatives that seek to improve the 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.

    In 2019, four projects were awarded grant funding totaling $10,000. They were:

  •     Double Play Community Sports Center — $4,250 to assist with start-up programming at a new “Teen and Senior Activity Center.”
  •     Lewis County Amateur Hockey Association — $3,500 to help the organization meet its fundraising goal to install new chiller lines at the Lewis County Skating Rink / Lowville Forest Park Pavilion.
  •     Lewis County Historical Society — $1,500 to support publication costs associated with a book it plans to publish in collaboration with the New York State Bar Association about the legal history of Lewis County.
  •     Lowville Free Library — $750 to support an educational lab for children ages 3 to 12 to introduce coding and teach students broader problem-solving skills, logic, sequencing, creativity, teamwork, and more.

    The deadline to submit a proposal for consideration is Friday, April 24, 2020. Awards will be announced following the Community Foundation’s quarterly board meeting in June. Contact Max DelSignore, Community Foundation assistant director, 315-782-7110, or max@nnycf.org for grant guidelines or to learn more about the George R. Davis Fund.

About George R. Davis

    The Honorable George R. Davis lived almost his entire life in Lowville. Judge Davis, as he was known, served for 20 years as Lewis County Judge from 1962 to 1983, previously serving as District Attorney.

    He was active in civic affairs throughout his life with a particular interest in local history, including the history of Lowville Academy where his father served as supervising principal for more than 35 years.  Judge Davis’ devotion to his community was extraordinary. One of Judge Davis’ lasting legacies is this unique community fund.

So glad to see the North Side Improvement League is still touching the lives of our community. As a former volunteer with my grandparents and a descendent of a past president of the ladies auxiliary, I am proud of the organization!!!
