More than 120 organizations were awarded grants, and nearly 200 organizations had applied this year. It was a record number of applicants, Tioga Downs encourages all of them to apply again next year, even if they were awarded a grant at this year’s event.
“Through the experiences shared by our award winners, we eagerly anticipate the ripple effects of these grants making a real difference close to home,” Gural said in the announcement. “There are countless organizations doing amazing work, often without the budget they truly deserve, and these grants aim to amplify their impact.”
The Tioga Downs Regional Community Foundation says it is dedicated to promoting economic and community development by supporting organizations that contribute to charitable, religious, literary, scientific, and educational endeavors within the target counties. With hundreds of applications received annually, the foundation works to donate to as many organizations as possible, Tioga Downs noted.
