Kindling Awards — Adirondack Community Foundation nominations

About this program

Adirondack Community Foundation's Kindling Awards recognize everyday neighbors who strengthen community, and in 2026 the program highlights individuals; each awardee may designate a local organization (library, youth group, municipality, or nonprofit) to receive a $1,000 grant and will be featured in a community profile. Nominations are accepted for residents or small informal groups located in the Adirondack Region (the Adirondack Park, plus all of Clinton and Franklin counties and the Akwesasne Mohawk Territory). Nominations must be submitted by February 25, 2026; full guidelines and the nomination form are available at https://adkcommunityfoundation.org/kindling-awards and questions can be directed to (518) 523-9904.
