Community-wide Giving Day Will Benefit Nonprofits

The Community Foundation of Otsego County is partnering with the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties on “Mohawk Valley Gives,” an existing and highly successful nonprofit giving day that launched in 2022. In 2022, the first year of Mohawk Valley Gives, the community came together and raised more than $630,000.00 in 24 hours. One hundred percent of participating organizations in Herkimer and Oneida counties received a donation.

This year, the Community Foundation of Otsego County is honored to be part of the event, and is excited to work with Otsego nonprofits, businesses, donors, board members, and community residents to make its first-year participation a success.
