Niagara Area Foundation
For 25 years, the Niagara Area Foundation (NAF) has committed to improving lives in Niagara County through the generosity of individuals and families who care deeply about their community.
Led by a Council of dedicated and knowledgeable local residents, the NAF builds connections and supports critical needs in Niagara County that result in transformative impact.
The NAF is a trusted philanthropic partner that provides a personalized approach to help charitable individuals and families support meaningful causes and organizations now — and forever.
As a geographic affiliate of the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, the NAF has access to its resources, deep knowledge and strong investment performance.
Families and individuals support causes and organizations most meaningful to them through funds at the NAF. Additionally, each year, the NAF runs a competitive grants process that supports its two priorities: youth enrichment and the environment.
For its 2024 competitive grant cycle, the Niagara Area Foundation announced awards totaling $60,200 to eight Niagara area nonprofit organizations. Click here to read about the grantees.
