Foundation refocuses on basic needs

In the Year of Hard Choices department…the Northern New York Community Foundation, which gives money to everything from food banks to literacy programs to museums, is retraining its grants program to focus on the basics. From the press release:

Due to the continuing global economic uncertainty and market downturn, priority will be given to those proposals that are related to basic human needs. These may include food, shelter, health care, certain human services, employment-related support (including child care and certain educational initiatives).
