The Legacy Foundation of Tompkins Countyformerly known as the Tompkins County Foundation is a private foundation committed to improving the quality of life in Tompkins County by supporting nonprofit organizations through semiannual grant awards. Funding for grants comes from our endowment that continues to grow from careful management by our board and donations and planned gifts from our generous community. We invite those organizations needing assistance to apply for support and we invite those community members who love Tompkins County and the quality of life it strives to provide for its citizens to join our efforts by making a gift to Legacy.
