Jeff Gural, owner of Tioga Downs Casino Resort, is making good on his promise to give back in a big way to community organizations in the Southern Tier.
The Tioga Downs Regional Community Foundation will award $250,000 in funding to non-profit organizations before the year’s end, and is now accepting applications. These funds are intended to contribute to community development in the counties surrounding Tioga Downs.
The ideal organizations will be those that combat poverty and community deterioration by providing financial support to charitable organizations in order to advance charitable, religious, literary, scientific and educational purposes.
Gural, who is well known for his passion for philanthropy and care for the community, says it’s a pleasure to award these funds to worthy recipients – but also a responsibility.
“Those who are fortunate enough to have the financial means to better the lives of others should do so whenever possible. I view it as a moral obligation,” Gural said, adding, “I have a great care and concern for this community, where my mother was from. I, and Tioga Downs, will always be committed to improving the quality of life for our neighbors.”
Applications are due by Nov. 30 2018, and awards will be given out before the end of the year. In subsequent years, $1 million will be awarded annually.
