The Essex Community Fund (ECF) is accepting grant applications for this year (2015). The deadline to apply is May 15 at 5:00 PM.
Qualifications
ECF is a component fund of Adirondack Foundation and offers grants to nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations, schools, churches, and local government activities operating in the town of Essex. ECF awards grants in support of community beautification, historic preservation, culture, the arts, education, and programs for youth and senior citizens.
Strong preference is given to capacity building grants or modest one-time capital projects. ECF does not fund ongoing operating expenses. Grants generally do not exceed $2,000. (Adirondack Foundation)
Decisions will be made in early June, and funding may become available as early as July.
