The Long Island Community Foundation Board of Advisors recently announced the approval of $537,000 in grants to 25 area non-profits through its competitive grant-making program, addressing the Island’s most urgent needs.

“We had an overwhelming amount of requests for support from our nonprofit partners during this grant cycle,” said David M. Okorn, executive director at the Foundation. “It’s still a tough economy and the demand for their services continues to increase. We are so grateful to our generous donors who make these grants possible and improve the quality of life for all Long Islanders.”

One of the beneficiaries was the NuHealth Foundation, which funds in East Meadow. The foundation received a $50,000 donation.
