This fund was established in 2006 under the leadership of Mayor Ted Salci and Alderman Jim Diodati through the proceeds from the annual Sleep Cheap – Charities Reap event. And when Jim became Mayor he continued as the champion of this event.
Each year hotels in Niagara Falls offer a block of rooms for four nights during their shoulder season at highly subsidized rates. All the proceeds are donated to charity and a team of hotel owners review the requests made directly to the city and determine the recipients. The Foundation’s share is used in two ways – to build the Niagara Falls Fund and also to support our granting program for projects benefitting the city.
