Announcing an extra $20K in grant giving

To mark its 20th anniversary this year, the Niskayuna Community Foundation (NCF) will offer an additional $20,000 for a total of $50,000 in available grant funds for 2020.

“There’s no better way to celebrate the Niskayuna Community Foundation’s 20 years of giving, than to give even more," said NFC Board President Mike Breault. "Thanks to our generous donors over the years, we are able to offer additional grant support in 2020 for programs that make Niskayuna a better place for everyone.

"We are especially mindful of how the developing impact of COVID-19 on our community will likely increase the demands on nonprofits that serve our residents," Breault added. "We encourage these organizations to apply for grant funding.”
