Two Years In a Row, Many thanks for a second $100,000 Unrestricted Gift
We just received news of an anonymous donor's RMD gift of $100,000 from her IRA for a second year in a row. She is a big fan ("it's a no brainer") of RMD gifts to charity from IRAs. Half of her gift goes directly to current use needs for our programs and services in philanthropic education. The other half is designated to grow the endowment for our unrestricted grantmaking.
This donor would like to encourage more people to give to the Tompkins Today & Tomorrow Fund, which provides for board discretionary grantmaking. A gift for current use enables us to meet the most pressing needs today. A gift to the Tompkins Today & Tomorrow endowment equips us with a growing resource to address needs well into our future.
If you would like to follow the lead of this magnificent donor and make a gift to our most flexible pool of grant making funds, please make a gift online
HERE or contact
Nancy Massicci or
George Ferrari at 607-272-9333. We are happy to answer questions.

Childhood Nutrition Collaborative
Offering universal free school meals has been a goal of the
Childhood Nutrition Collaborative, a coalition of nonprofit, school, university and government staff working to improve childhood nutrition in Tompkins County. Over the past year, members of the collaborative had been talking with the Ithaca City School District about ways to increase participation in the school breakfast program.
The Childhood Nutrition Collaborative was launched in 2016 with funding from Community Foundation of Tompkins County, which has provided $40,000 in grants to the group. The collaborative is one of Tompkins County's "
collective impact" initiatives, which have built a framework for social change that involves participants across sectors to solve complex problems together.
"One of the successes of our long-term commitment to collective impact is substantial improvement in access to nutritious food in our schools," said Janet Cotraccia, program officer at Community Foundation. "The Childhood Nutrition Collaborative has catalyzed this work, and the provision of universal lunches and breakfasts at Enfield and Beverly J. Martin are an excellent example of this."
