The Community Fund, a group of local volunteers, provides financial assistance and administrative support to nonprofit organizations serving the health, education, and welfare needs of residents in the villages of Bronxville and Tuckahoe, the Town of Eastchester, and the areas located in the 10708 zip code.
“The Community Fund is an organization that takes its fiduciary responsibility seriously,” noted Amy Korb, executive director of the fund. “Through our evaluation process, each agency and grant application is thoroughly reviewed by our local volunteers, helping us to determine the appropriate level of financial support and guidance required to ensure that needed services are available to local residents.”
All applications must be received by Friday, January 19, 2018, for consideration. Not-for-profit organizations that qualify are invited to apply. Funding is determined based on several factors, including community needs, distribution of existing services, impact on the community, population served, quality of administration/service, collaboration, and financial condition.
The agency evaluations for this year are headed up by Community Fund board members Jennifer Buckley and Jonalie Korengold.
