The Adirondack League Club Grant Round for Old Forge is a funding opportunity offered through the Adirondack League Club Community Fund, a donor-advised fund managed by the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties. This grant round is designed to support nonprofit organizations that serve Old Forge, the Town of Webb, or the broader Adirondack Region. The fund’s mission is to enhance the vitality and well-being of these communities by supporting charitable projects and programs that bring positive and meaningful change.
Applicants are invited by the fund to apply, as this is not an open-call opportunity but one available by invitation only. The grant focuses on projects and programs that address longstanding or emerging issues within the community, encourage creative problem-solving, and leverage other community resources. It prioritizes initiatives that can show measurable and significant outcomes, ultimately improving the overall scope and quality of services provided in the region.
Eligible applicants must be tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, government entities, or faith-based organizations that propose projects or programs that are non-religious in nature and serve a diverse population without regard to religious affiliation. Organizations with 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsors are also eligible to apply. Funding is available for new or existing programs, but for ongoing efforts, any expenses incurred before July 2025 are not eligible for reimbursement. All funded efforts must have a clearly defined timeline and measurable outcomes.
The application window opens on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, and closes on Thursday, July 31, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. All submissions must be completed within this timeframe. Projects proposed for funding must begin no earlier than July 2025, ensuring that the grant directly contributes to future-forward initiatives.
Any questions regarding eligibility or the application process should be directed to Elyssa Arnone-Earl, Development & Fundholder Engagement Strategist for the Community Foundation. She can be contacted by phone at 315-725-7572 or via email at earnone-earl@foundationhoc.org.
