The NCCF is committed to improving the northern Chautauqua community through the promotion of local philanthropy, targeted grantmaking, local scholarships and leadership.  Since 1986, the organization has distributed over $7.3 million within the community in the form of grants and scholarships.  For more information, contact 716-366-4892 or nccf@nccfoundation.org.
