The mission of the Social Service League of Ithaca is to support Tompkins County not-for-profit, human service organizations in their work to address the most significant community needs. Any not-for-profit, incorporated, human/social service provider in Tompkins County is eligible to apply. Public/government agencies and individuals are not eligible to receive funds. Projects must show the ability to sustain themselves without continuing support from the League. Funding is not granted for capital fund drives or deficits. For more information, read the Social Service League brochure or contact John Mazzello at the Human Services Coalition at 607.273.8686.
2021 – 2022 Grant Application Information
The Social Service League accepts grant applications once per year, generally in the fall. Please contact John Mazzello at jmazzello@hsctc.org or 607.273.8686 if you have any
questions.
2020 – 2021 Award Recipients
The Social Service League allocated $20,310 to 11 organizations for the 2020-2021 funding cycle.
The Human Services Coalition provided technical support and facilitated the funding process.
2020-2021 SSL Grant Recipients
We traditionally hold an awards ceremony each year to congratulate grant recipients but this year due to COVID-19 we instead asked each
organization to submit a short video regarding their plans for the funding.
