Funding Available to Support Tree Planting in City of Watertown

March 5, 2019 By admin

Community Foundation Announces 2019 Opportunities Through the Carolyn Whitney Fund

    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.

    In 2018, funding was awarded to the City of Watertown to plant approximately 40 trees as part of a fall project. Since 2010, the Carolyn Whitney Fund at the Community Foundation has awarded more than $28,000 in grant support for 10 tree planting projects.

    The deadline to submit an application for consideration is Friday, April 19, 2019. Grant 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 to obtain grant guidelines or to learn more.

Meet Kinley Lalonde, an eighth grader at Morristown Central School.

For Kinley, “community is St. Joseph’s Home. What I love is the feeling you get when you make someone there happy. I love to have someone know they are appreciated in this world.” 

As a 2022-2023 Northern New York Community Foundation Community Spirit Youth Giving Challenge winner, Kinley had a chance to present a grant to the St. Joseph’s Foundation in Ogdensburg, an organization she chose for its work to support St. Joseph’s Home and strengthen the quality of life in her community. 

“St. Joseph’s Home is such a great asset in our community. It is a rewarding feeling to make people happy and let the residents know that even if they don’t have family nearby, there is always someone there for them,” Kinley wrote in her winning essay. “I want them to know that someone cares about them and always supports them to have the best life for as long as they possibly can.”

Kinley recently met with St. Joseph’s Home Administrator Colleen Steele and her team to present a $1,000 Youth Giving Challenge grant that will help the St. Joseph’s Foundation continue its work and mission. The grant is supported by donors to the Friends of the Foundation Annual Community Betterment Fund, a partnership with Community Bank, N.A., and a leadership gift from an anonymous donor. 

Pictured, from left, Colleen Steele, St. Joseph’s Home administrator; Donna Luckie St. Joseph’s Home business manager; Kinley Lalonde Morristown Central School student and Youth Giving Challenge winner; and Lisa O’Brien, Kinley’s mother.

Kinley is one of dozens of thoughtful youths who looked inside her community to recognize an organization that works to improve quality of life locally. The 2022-2023 Youth Giving Challenge asked students from Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties to explain in an essay what community means to them and to choose a nonprofit that embodies their definition of community. Kinley’s essay is one of 10 chosen from 124 submissions that came from 11 different tri-county schools.

Look for more photos and stories behind the Community Spirit Youth Giving Challenge in the coming weeks.
