CHILDS – The Cobblestone Museum has received a grant from the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, and the $10,000 award will goes towards operating support.

The museum is one of 32 non-profit organizations in Western New York receiving a total of $630,000 in funding from the Community Foundation.

Doug Farley, the Cobblestone Museum executive director, said the museum is grateful for the funding.

“There are not a lot of grantors that provide operating support,” he said. “This type of grant covers a lot of overhead expenses.”

Farley said Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo recently expanded its reach to include Orleans County organizations.
