...Applying for Grants...

The Directors of the Tompkins Charitable Gift Fund are proud to help fund organizations and causes at many levels. While many financial service gift funds and some community foundations do not accept unsolicited grants, we welcome them!

Over the years, Fund grants have supported a wide variety of charities to support and enrich the lives of those living in New York State. A typical Directors Philanthropy Fund grant has averaged around $5,000 and in the past we have given to:

• Community/Human Services 

• Health/Medical Services

• Education

• Religion

• Arts/Culture

• Environment 

Submission deadlines are March 1 and September 1.
