The Hamilton College Town-Gown Fund recently awarded nearly $123,000 to 13 local non-profits and public safety organizations serving the Town of Kirkland and the Village of Clinton.
The fund has now invested $1.38 million in the local community since its founding in 2001. In addition to support for public safety, gifts or grants are made to organizations with a primary focus on education.
This year’s grants ranged from $19,175 to $2,285 and included support to purchase graphing calculators for Clinton High School students, tuition to train two new paramedics for COCVAC, and technology upgrades for programs at the Clark Mills Historical Society.
The Country Pantry received $7,800 for general operations.

“They enrich our community immeasurably, and they do so often despite limited resources. It’s a pleasure to provide these extra funds to help ensure the vitality of the organizations and the community they serve,” Tepper said.
The Clinton Central School District received the largest grant, $19,175, to create sensory paths for the elementary school, buy 50 graphing calculators for the high school, and purchase a camera package to stream events from the new stadium.
