Improving the Quality of Life in the Greater Rochester, NY area
The Ames Amzalak Memorial Trust was established through the combination of residuary trusts created under the Wills of three brothers - Henry Ames, Dan Amzalak, and Semon Amzalak, who wanted the residuary of their estates to benefit local charities. The Ames Amzalak Memorial Trust fulfills that wish. Its goal is to improve the quality of life in the Greater Rochester area. Its funding interests are non-profit agencies and institutions that are part of the Rochester Jewish Community, other non-profit agencies, and institutions in the Greater Rochester community benefitting children, physically and mentally challenged individuals, healthcare, and the arts.
The Trust accepts grant applications from tax-exempt not-for-profit organizations through the end of February each year and typically awards grants in May or June. Well over $10 million has been awarded in grants from the Ames Amzalak Memorial Trust.
How To Apply
Grants are limited to 501(c)(3) organizations in the Greater Rochester area. Grants are made for capital needs, technology and equipment needs, pilot projects and innovative programs.
Guiding the Trust
Our trustees bring a wealth of experience and a shared commitment to advancing our mission and making a positive impact in our community.
