“Wherever, at the head of some new undertaking, you see the government in France, or a man of rank in England, in the United States you will be sure to find an association.”
— Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America (1835)
A beautiful evening at the Glen Iris celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Wyoming Foundation. For five decades, the Foundation has supported countless initiatives across Wyoming County, serving as a cornerstone charitable organization. These local institutions strengthen the fabric of our communities in much the same way our founders envisioned 250 years ago. It is especially fitting that the Foundation celebrates its 50th anniversary during our nation’s semiquincentennial year.
We are incredibly grateful for the Foundation’s support through a grant awarded at last night’s celebration. Their investment will help launch our Civic Action Fellowship this fall for students across Wyoming County. The fellowship will connect students with local government and other community institutions while helping them earn the New York State Seal of Civic Readiness.
