On December 14, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation gathered to approve and begin the process of releasing the annual distribution of checks to local charitable organizations.

One hundred-fifty endowment funds earned income to assist ninety-four agencies and churches in 2011.   Grant checks released will benefit youth, religious, educational, arts/ humanities and human service agencies.

 For thirty-three years, the Foundation has assisted donors reach their charitable giving goals. Donor gifts to endowed funds continue to generate revenues that benefit our community year after year. 

Do you have a passion for a specific cause?  Would you like to learn more about the enduring gift of an endowment fund?  Whatever your charitable intent, the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation can help.
