Our Friends,

We're in this together.  Schenectady is again proving that, like no other community in our region, we distinguish ourselves through our humanity, our unity, our giving and volunteering. Our openness to listen, change and find peace.  While we navigate through the pandemic, we also embrace our nation and community as we confront social and racial injustice.  We welcome everyone.  We serve everyone.  We feel for the pain of our community, and believe that black lives matter. We also continue to keep people safe and healthy as the pandemic continues.

And especially now, in the midst of turmoil, we keep our lines open to provide help to those in need. 

If you need help, call our hotline, which is open weekdays from 9 am to 2 pm:  518-621-3536

If you are interested and able to volunteer, email us at info@schenectadyfoundation.org

If you are in a position to help financially, our Rebuilding Families Fund is matching your donations dollar for dollar, and distributing funds where they are needed most.

Our best wishes for good health and safety to you and your family,

Robert A. Carreau

executive director, The Schenectady Foundation
