​NCF Offers $60,000 in Grants to Mark 25th Anniversary
 
The Niskayuna Community Foundation (NCF) is pleased to announce $60,000 in available grant funding for 2025. NCF invites nonprofit organizations and programs to apply for grants by visiting our Grants webpage for guidelines and an application. Grant applications are due on April 17, 2025.
 
“As the Niskayuna Community Foundation marks 25 years of service to the community, we’re excited to announce our plans to broaden NCF’s community impact in 2025 by awarding $60,000 in grant funding," said NCF Grant Distribution Committee Chair Mike Mullaney. “Because our goal is to award a total of 50% more grant money to more qualified applicants, we hope to hear from even more organizations that need funding for worthy programs and projects, and we especially encourage first-time applicants.”
 
NCF’s mission is to invest in local solutions. Since the year 2000, the Niskayuna Community Foundation has awarded over $550,000 in grants to more than 125 different organizations and programs that provide important services for town residents and opportunities for children in Niskayuna. In 2024, more than $40,000 in NCF grants funded a wide range of initiatives, including support for: food insecure students, Niskayuna’s first National Night Out, and therapy dog visits for first responders. NCF grants also made home safety improvements possible for low-income Niskayuna seniors and provided the first Niskayuna-Schenectady Girls’ Wrestling team with practice equipment.
