The Niagara Area Foundation (NAF) was established in 2000 by a group of Niagara County individuals in the private and nonprofit sectors who felt a major charity-oriented philanthropic void existed in Niagara County.
Members of the Niagara Area Foundation Board of Directors represent the whole of Niagara County and are committed to county-wide philanthropic efforts.
This new foundation functions as a division of the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo. The Community Foundation supports the NAF in grant making, fund development, donor services, investment oversight, accounting and fiduciary reporting.
The Niagara Area Foundation now has more than $2.7 million in assets.
