Allegany County Area Foundation June Grants Support Archery Program, Scouting, Libraries

ACAF • November 20, 2023

(June 2023) Scout Troop 733, Genesee and Belfast libraries, and Canaseraga Central School were approved for grants during the Allegany County Area Foundation’s (ACAF) September meeting.

Wellsville’s Boy Scout Troop 733 will receive $725 for the purchase of new tents and related items needed for its growing program.

Genesee Library was awarded $750 for landscaping updates to create a larger, more functional, and attractive area for summer reading programs and general activity as the library becomes an increasingly central part of its community.

The Belfast Public Library was awarded $1000 for its Summer Concert Series and Taste of Belfast event. These August performances featured local musicians and were held in the community’s Town Park. The last Monday concert included the Taste of Belfast event and activities for kids and families.

The ACAF Grant Committee awarded $1500 to Canaseraga Central School to support its growing ‘Staying on Target’ archery club program. Established in 2013, the club builds on a very popular National Archery in Schools gym unit and meets two or three times per week after school from September to March. Currently, 31% of CCS’s grade 4-12 students participate. The grant funds will allow the club to purchase equipment and supplies.

These grants were made through ACAF’s Allegany, Moogan, and Shear funds. The ACAF Grant Committee meets quarterly, in September, December, March, and June.
