The Chamber actively hosts various programs to generate community benefit, including the Leadership Cayuga leadership development program and the Finger Lakes Grant Information Center, which assists non-profits in identifying new funding resources and building capacity.
Finger Lakes Grants Information Center
The FLGIC was established in 2011 as a joint venture of the Stardust Foundation of CNY and the Cayuga County Chamber of Commerce. The mission is to create a resource for our local communities to provide the information and tools necessary to attract funding to Auburn and the Finger Lakes region from foundations, federal, state, and local governments, and other grant makers.
The center maintains a current print collection of resources from the Foundation Center as well as our own collection on fundraising, grant writing, and other related topics. We are a partner of the Foundation Center and provide visitors with unique database access. We have computers for visitor use and offer wifi for your laptops or iPads. To reserve, call 315.252.7291 or email Jessica jwrench@cayugacountychamber.com.
In addition, the FLGIC provides workshops and events on grant seeking, proposal writing, nonprofit board governance, and fundraising, per our mission.
