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".
