MONTICELLO, NY — The Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce recently announced its excitement to welcome the Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan (CFOS) to its office space at 196 Bridgeville Road, Suite 7 in Monticello. This collaboration is expected to strengthen both organizations’ missions by fostering deeper community engagement, supporting local businesses and enhancing philanthropic initiatives throughout Sullivan County.

For more than 25 years, CFOS has been a driving force in supporting charitable giving, grantmaking and nonprofit initiatives in Orange and Sullivan counties. By managing over 420 charitable funds and awarding nearly $30 million in grants and scholarships, CFOS has played a critical role in enriching the lives of residents and strengthening the region’s nonprofit sector.

Having CFOS establish a presence within the chamber’s office allows for greater accessibility to their resources, making it easier for local nonprofits, businesses and individuals to engage with their programs. According to the Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce, this partnership aligns perfectly with its mission to connect, support and advocate for local businesses and community organizations, further reinforcing our commitment to fostering economic growth and social impact.

“We are beyond excited to have the Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan join us at the chamber,” said Ashley Leavitt, President and CEO of the Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce. “Their dedication to supporting local philanthropy and nonprofit development makes them an invaluable asset to our community. By working together, we can create even greater opportunities for collaboration, ensuring both businesses and nonprofits thrive in Sullivan County.” 

Community members, business leaders, and nonprofit organizations are encouraged to stop by the chamber office to welcome CFOS, learn more about their services and explore ways to get involved in local philanthropy.
