Our 2011 Mission
The
mission of The Niskayuna Community Foundation (NCF) is to enhance the
quality of life in Niskayuna through organized philanthropy. The NCF
will:
- Distribute grants to such
fields as arts and culture, education, health, recreation, environment,
and human services.
- Offer flexible,
cost-effective giving opportunities for donors.
- Act as an enduring
resource to augment community programs and initiatives.
With a booming local
population, financially strapped local governments and school
districts, and dwindling public monies for non-profit organizations,
the Foundation needs your help to further strengthen the Niskayuna
community. All donations are tax-deductible and you will be
recognized in Community Connections, our annual newsletter, and on our
website.
The NCF joins a rapidly
growing community foundation movement
nationwide -- more than 700 -- all seeking to enhance and improve their
hometowns through a variety of projects. Community foundations build
endowments for their community and distribute grants to meet community
needs. They are often referred to as the school & town "
insurance
policy for the future".
