Friday Deadline for Two Watertown-Area Grant Opportunities that Enhance Quality of Life

April 15, 2019 By admin

Funding Available to Support Live Orchestral Music Performances in the Watertown Area and Tree Planting in City of Watertown    

    The deadline to submit grant proposals for funding from two community-specific funds that together award up to $23,000 is this Friday.

    The Community Foundation invites nonprofit organizations or government entities to apply for up to $20,000 in 2019 grant funding to produce live orchestral music performances in the Watertown area.

       The concerts must take place after Sept. 1, 2019, but before July 31, 2020. The fund is made possible through the Community Foundation’s Orchestral Music Fund for Watertown area performances. Eligible organizations for this funding opportunity must have at least 20 performers and are required to have an instrumental component. Past recipients include the Orchestra of Northern New York, Trinity Concert Series, and the Northern Choral Society, among others, for their respective concert seasons or local performances in Watertown.

    Proposals must be received or postmarked by Friday, April 19, 2019, for consideration. Awards will be announced after the Community Foundation’s quarterly board meeting in June. Contact Max DelSignore, Community Foundation assistant director, 315-782-7110, or max@nnycf.org to obtain grant guidelines or to learn more about the Orchestral Fund.

Carolyn Whitney Fund Supports Tree Planting

   The Northern New York Community Foundation encourages nonprofit organizations or government entities to apply for up to $3,000 in 2019 grant funding for tree planting initiatives in the City of Watertown.

    Grant support is made possible through a fund established by the estate of Carolyn Whitney. Since 2010, the Carolyn Whitney Fund at the Community Foundation has awarded more than $28,000 in grant support for 10 tree planting projects.

   Proposals must be received or postmarked by Friday, April 19, 2019, for consideration. Awards will be announced after the Community Foundation’s quarterly board meeting in June.

    Contact Max DelSignore, Community Foundation assistant director, 315-782-7110, or max@nnycf.org to obtain grant guidelines or to learn more.

Working with donors to benefit the community through grants and scholarships since 1929.

We are humbled to serve as the permanent home of The Peyton Lane S. Morse Legacy Foundation to help the Morse family perpetuate the life and legacy of their son, fallen Watertown City Firefighter Peyton Morse.

On Friday, Peyton was posthumously honored as a Watertown Rapids “Clutch Player of the Game” during the team’s home opener against the Utica Blue Sox at Toyota Field at the Alex T Duffy Fairgrounds. Peyton’s older brother, Parker, threw out an honorary first pitch as we celebrated Peyton’s legacy of service to others, and the importance of community.

Now in its third season, the “Rapids Support Team,” powered by the Northern New York Community Foundation, is a partnership to help the team with its charitable initiatives off the field to strengthen community and local nonprofit organizations.

Thank you to the Morse family for all your incredible work. We are honored to partner on such an important mission.
