📰 News we're reading
• Frog Rock Foundation (insidephilanthropy.com) — A Chappaqua-based family foundation, Frog Rock, is quietly channeling nearly $1 million a year to Westchester nonprofits tackling housing, food insecurity, mental health, and poverty. While it doesn't accept unsolicited proposals, established groups with strong local track records may still build relationships through introductions and its online contact form, as the funder increasingly backs basic-needs work supporting vulnerable families. 
• An intriguing transfer option could be emerging for Kentucky Basketball (aseaofblue.com) — A standout Yale forward from Chappaqua, Nick Townsend, is entering the transfer portal after earning Ivy League Player of the Year honors, and Kentucky fans are eyeing him as a possible fit. His combination of size, rebounding, and three-point shooting could make him a notable hometown name to watch if high-major programs, including Kentucky, pursue him for their final roster spot.
