Three St. Lawrence County non-profits part of 'Giving Tuesday,' raising more than $24k

Posted

Three St. Lawrence County non-profits joined 24 others from across the North Country in December on #GivingTuesday to raise more than $24,000, said a press release from the Northern New York Community Foundation.

Gifts from more than 115 individuals, families and businesses, and a Northern New York Community Foundation matching grant, lifted the 2019 #giveNNY campaign to a new record of $24,375 to support North Country non-profits, said the Foundation.

Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center Foundation, Ogdensburg; Orchestra of Northern New York, Potsdam; St. Lawrence County Historical Association, Canton joined other non-profits from Jefferson and Lewis counties for the effort held Dec. 3.

The Foundation matched all campaign gifts up to $10,000. Participating non-profit organizations will receive an equal share of the money raised by the campaign as grants from the Northern New York Community Foundation. The money will be awarded in the coming weeks, the Foundation said.

A full day of radio broadcast on Tunes 92.5 FM/104.5 FM on #GivingTuesday capped a month-long campaign that included a series of special events coordinated and hosted by many participating nonprofits.
