The Foundation makes grants to tax-exempt, non-profit organizations for programs and projects that serve Allegany County communities and residents.
We do not provide grants to individuals.
Grant application and policy may be obtained through the button below or by writing to the Foundation at:
6087 State Route 19N Belmont, NY 14813
Applying for a grant is not yet an online process. Applications can be downloaded or printed, completed and then returned to ACAF by US Mail, or scanned and e-mailed.
Grant applications are reviewed by ACAF’s Grant Committee, which meets every two months. The committee meetings set so far for the 2025-2026 year are:
August 21
October 15
December 10
February 25
April TBD

Grant applications should be received by ACAF at least five days prior to the meeting date.
When urgent needs arise, we can review grant applications between the prescribed dates by e-mail.
Please contact Bruce Campbell, our executive director, at 585-296-5616 with any grant-related questions
The Foundation requires that grant recipients submit a report of grant-funded project or activity to the ACAF executive director following the completion of the project or program.
