The Allegany County Area Foundation (ACAF) recently presented a
$500 grant to the David A. Howe Library in Wellsville for the reupholstering of the Library’s
armchairs. Original to the building (1937), the chairs are found primarily in
the Library’s Local History Room, which houses historical and genealogical
records, and serves as a meeting place for organizations and groups from
throughout the area. The chairs have been redone with a look that’s in keeping
with their 1930s vintage.
The grant was provided by the Foundation’s Allegany Fund, an
unrestricted endowment that allows ACAF to assist local non-profit
organizations as they serve the public.
The largest public library in Allegany County and a member
of the Southern Tier Library System, the David A. Howe Library holds over
110,000 items in its collection and is a New York State Document Depository.
The Allegany County Area Foundation holds over $9M in assets
and manages over 50 scholarship and grant programs. If you are interested in
establishing a grant or scholarship fund or contributing to an existing fund,
please contact ACAF at 585-296-5616. Donations are tax deductible.
