From Tompkins Weekly “25 years of impact: Community Foundation celebrates milestone”

By Jaime Cone Hughes

The Community Foundation of Tompkins County celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. On Wednesday, May 14, the Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce will host a special Business After Hours event at the Greater Ithaca Activities Center (GIAC), celebrating a quarter-century of trust-based philanthropy, community partnerships and over $32 million in grant-making that has helped shape a more equitable and inclusive Tompkins County.

The event will take place from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., and there will be light refreshments and door prizes, as well as special prizes from the Community Foundation, including one $250 grant certificate and one $100 grant certificate. Winners will consult with Community Foundation staff to choose which mission-driven organization serving Tompkins County they would like their grant certificate awarded to.
