Niagara Area Foundation press release
The Niagara Area Foundation, a geographic division of the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, is now accepting grant applications from nonprofit organizations for its 2026 grant cycle. Applications can be submitted online at www.cfgb.org/nonprofits/grants/niagara-area-foundation and are due by 4 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 6.
Led by a council of dedicated and knowledgeable residents, the Niagara Area Foundation builds connections and supports critical needs in Niagara County that result in transformative impact. For more than a quarter of a century, the Niagara Area Foundation has committed to improving lives in Niagara County through the generosity of individuals and families who care deeply about their community.
In 2026, the Niagara Area Foundation will consider submitted applications that have maximum positive impact on Niagara County and that align with one of the council’s two goals:
•Youth enrichment: To build stronger communities through the enrichment of youth, positive youth development, and equity and inclusion.
•Environment: To support and enhance education and awareness about the importance and creation of a healthy, vibrant and safe ecosystem for Niagara County residents.
The maximum grant available is $10,000.
The Niagara Area Foundation awards are made possible thanks to the generosity of individuals and groups who established funds with the Niagara Area Foundation for the benefit of Niagara County residents. Those interested in supporting Niagara County can also set up funds to support causes and organizations they care deeply about through the Niagara Area Foundation or contribute to the Niagara Area Foundation Endowment Fund.
