GATHER, GROW, GRANT

We gather, grow, and grant charitable funds to improve the quality of life in New York’s Capital Region … forever. Since our founding in 1968, we have gathered and grown charitable assets and granted more than $28 million to benefit our community.

OUR MISSION

The mission of the Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region is to strengthen our community by attracting charitable endowments both large and small, maximizing benefits to donors, making effective grants, and providing leadership to address community needs.

IN GOOD COMPANY The Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region is one of more than 700 community foundations in the United States. Together, we represent one of the fastest growing sectors of philanthropy. We also manage nearly $45 billion in charitable assets and, in 2005, distributed $3.2 billion to benefit a wide range of not-for-profit programs, from health and human services to arts and education, disaster relief, and environmental projects. In cities and towns across the United States, community foundations benefit young and old alike – now and for all time.
