The 21st Century Fund is a special funding opportunity designed to support one high impact project every other year that is of strategic importance to Western New York.  The Fund offers its members a unique opportunity to learn about key community issues and engage in a democratic, and participatory decision making process whereby each voting member of a broad, diverse, intergenerational membership has one vote to select the successful project. 

Through this process the organization hopes to develop a spirit of charitable giving among a new generation of leaders, encourage intergenerational philanthropy, and develop and enhance a spirit of mutual problem solving by members of our community.
