Description
The Mohawk Valley Giving Guide is a community-wide giving resource administered by the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties. It connects nonprofits with individual donors, fundholders, and community members by publishing specific projects and programs seeking immediate support over the next three to six months. Each listing includes a brief summary of the organization’s funding request so donors can identify opportunities that match their interests.
The program encourages local giving and helps organizations make their current needs visible to potential supporters. Organizations submit their own requests, which Foundation staff review before publication. The Giving Guide acts as a bridge to donor support rather than a guaranteed grant award, with a preference for organizations located in or serving Herkimer or Oneida counties.
