The check presentation was made at the Saratoga County America’s Turning Point tent at the Fair. The Saratoga County Board of Supervisors created the two-million-dollar Saratoga County Non-Profit COVID Relief Grant Fund to assist community non-profits that were negatively affected by the pandemic to help them continue beneficial programs and projects for County residents. More than 170 organizations received a grant ranging from $500 to a maximum of $50,000.
