The Impact Opportunity Challenge is a pilot program for The Community Foundation as it explores new and creative ways to support downtown economic development. The Challenge is open to individuals and/or groups with an innovative business concept in one of four downtown Utica districts.
This group, supported by the New York Council of Nonprofits , offers nonprofit executive directors from Oneida and Herkimer Counties opportunities for peer support, networking and professional development. The group meets on a quarterly basis.
