Melissa Eisinger is the recently retired VP of Adirondack Foundation, serving donors and nonprofit organizations to enhance the region’s communities through philanthropy. For twenty years prior, she was with the Adirondack Chapter of The Nature Conservancy and Adirondack Land Trust. Current and former board service includes the Northern Forest Atlas Foundation, the Bruce L. Crary Foundation, and High Peaks Education Foundation. She is a friendship volunteer for Mercy Care of the Adirondacks.
The Adirondacks are full of organizations that we love and that are irreplaceable. Cloudsplitter will continue to evaluate and prioritize systemic threats so that we have the resources to respond now and into the future. Given the unknowns of the current funding environment, we wanted to be clear with our grant applicants that we may be less likely to fund capital projects, events, projects far outside the Adirondack park, and very large grant requests ($50K+) at this time. If you feel something within those categories deserves our attention, please contact chenelle@cloudsplitter directly prior to submitting a grant to discuss further.
