Foundation for Greater Buffalo, operating through the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, gives primarily to strengthen Western New York through collaborative, place-based philanthropy. Its funding shows a strong preference for nonprofits addressing basic needs, youth and family wellbeing, civic participation, education pathways, and community resilience, often through regional initiatives or restricted-purpose family and donor funds. It also supports some invitation-only and closed-cycle funds, suggesting a mix of competitive programs, collaborative funds, and managed family foundations rather than open general operating grants.

Primarily place-based grantmaking in Western New York, with several closed-cycle or invite-only programs and collaborative funds; grant sizes vary by program, from scholarship awards of roughly $1,000-$6,000 to larger initiative-based and emergency-response grants. The foundation often funds through partnerships, managed funds, and time-limited initiatives rather than a broad open application process.
Most programs listed are closed or invite-only, so applicants should watch for specific annual cycles and program announcements on the Community Foundation website rather than expecting an open rolling process. Strong proposals will be tightly aligned to Western New York community needs, collaborative in nature, and clearly tied to one of the fund’s defined issue areas such as youth, basic needs, civic health, or nonprofit resilience.
