JAMESTOWN – The United Way of Southern Chautauqua County received a major financial boost on Tuesday with a $200,000 grant from the Johnson Foundation.
The contribution will be placed in the United Way’s endowment and will be used to support long-term sustainability and operations at the United Way, which helps to provide funding for more than 20 different service agencies in the south county.
To show appreciation for the donation, United Way executive director Tory Irgang says the United Way will rename its endowment the “John A. and Oscar Johnson Fund.”
Meanwhile, the United Way is also reminding residents that there’s still time to donate to its annual campaign.
Donations can be made online at uwayscc.org or mail donations to United Way of Southern Chautauqua County, 413 N. Main St., Jamestown, NY 14701.
