LAKE PLACID — Adirondack Foundation, and its many funding partners, have awarded nearly $1.2 million since March through 175 grants to nonprofits, schools, and community-based organizations specifically toward COVID-19 response. This rapid-response community assistance is thanks to a coalition of corporate, philanthropic, and nonprofit partners supporting local front-line organizations — many of which serve people who are disproportionately affected when crisis strikes.
