Promotion Resources
The Central New York Community Foundation is proud of the work our grantees perform in the community.

Each quarter, we distribute press releases announcing the grants we have made through the Community Grantmaking Program and others. We post all of our press releases online as well.

We know that many organizations like to send out their own press releases as well. If you would like to include a description of The Central New York Foundation, please use the following:

"The Central New York Community Foundation connects the generosity of donors with community needs by making grants to organizations working to enhance the quality of life of those who live and work in Central New York. The Community Foundation annually makes more than $5 million in grants and provides leadership support in the fields of arts and culture, community and economic development, education, environment, health and human services. Founded in 1927, the Community Foundation strives to inspire philanthropy in Central New York."
