Community\u00a0Awards<\/strong><\/div>\n
Cortland Community Foundation (CCF) &\u00a0United Way for Cortland (UW)<\/strong>
\nBoth of these agencies have greatly supported YWCA Cortland year after year, CCF with their Philanthropy Day contest opportunity and United Way with funding for YW programs like Mentoring and Aid to Victims of Violence.<\/p>\n

When COVID hit in March and our local 211 was inundated with phone calls asking where people could go for assistance with food, diapers, and childcare, these two\u00a0agencies joined forces to provide financial support directly to the local organizations who were trying to provide these essential services.<\/p>\n

Together, CCF and UW partnered to create the \u201cCortland Cares COVID\u00a0Fund.\u201d The aim of this was to support local nonprofits’\u00a0operations to deliver food and services to those most affected by the COVID\u00a0health crisis. CCF jumpstarted the fund with a $25,000 contribution set up as a matching fund.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
