Fifteen non-profit organizations from St. Lawrence County will each have a share of $42,298 raised during the Northern New York Community Foundation’s 2021 #giveNNY campaign.
More than 300 individuals, families and businesses, and a Northern New York Community Foundation matching grant, helped the campaign reach the record amount raised which will go to
support nonprofits in Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties, announced the foundation recently.
The St. Lawrence County organizations involved joined a diverse group of 46 others from across the North Country in the month-long campaign that encouraged nonprofits to work
together in ways that transcend fundraising, the foundation said in a press release.
