CNY Tuesdays

Empowering Non-Profits in CNY Every non-profit has a story. A story of giving, a story of receiving, a story of challenges and overcoming, a story of impact and making a difference. CNY Tuesdays is a weekly campaign recognizing these stories. It is a vehicle to give a voice to the amazing non-profits making a difference in Central New York communities and for CNY citizens. In addition, Upstate Shredding is empowering the featured organizations to transform their communities even further through weekly $2,000 grants. CNY Tuesdays is intended to be a grant program driven by the community. Central New York residents are asked to go to nominate a deserving non-profit organization every month at cnytuesdays.com. Share a few lines of the story of impact you have seen or experienced so that others can see how organizations are doing good work all around us and transforming our communities daily. Each month an independent committee will narrow nominations down to 10 finalists. Central New York residents are then asked to go to cnytuesdays.com engage with the stories shared by voting for those they find most compelling, for a five day period, the last few days of each month. The non-profit organizations receiving the most votes will be recognized in the following month and receive a $2,000 grant from Upstate Shredding. Each Tuesday, Michael Benny will feature a different grant recipient on NBC News at 7pm, sharing their story with Central New York. CNY Tuesdays will share more of the organizations story throughout the week on CNY Tuesdays social media pages.
