Grants & Gifts

Unity House is the grateful recipient of funding from:

Assemblymember Anna Kelles – $135,500

To improve five IRAs (group homes) in Tompkins County. The project will enhance accessibility within the homes and protect their structures, providing residents with greater autonomy, mobility and dignity.

To assist Unity Employment Services in buying a quality used car or van. This vehicle will provide safe, reliable transportation for 12+ program participants so they may obtain and maintain competitive employment in Cayuga County.

Triad Foundation – $7,500

For general operating expenses and staff appreciation initiatives.

J.M. McDonald Foundation – $3,000

This grant will fund the purchase of a commercial-grade food processor and an outdoor dining set for the residents of our group home in Union Springs.

Friends of the Tompkins County Public Library – $540

To purchase new American Sign Language (ASL) materials for Ithaca Day Hab. ASL promotes greater communication and connections, especially for those who are non- or less-verbal, and can minimize the frustrations experienced by those individuals.
