About The Schenectady Foundation’s 60th Year

Sixty years ago, leaders of the Schenectady Trust Company came together to form a charitable trust. The Schenectady Foundation was created to benefit the health and well-being of the people who live and work in Schenectady County, NY. In July 1963 - The Schenectady Foundation made its first grant -- $250 to the Schenectady YMCA.

Since then, we have committed $31 million for charitable grants and scholarships, supporting more than 100 charitable programs in Schenectady County. 

 

Diamond Anniversary: Igniting a Legacy of Impact and Engagement

Our Diamond Anniversary Celebration will take place from June 2023 – June 2024, and it promises to be  an eventful year full of impact and activities. We have planned a series of events and programs that aim to engage our community, reinvest in the next 60 years, and make Schenectady a more equitable and thriving community.

Over the 60 years, the Foundation has awarded grants to organizations and initiatives that promote education, health and wellness, arts and culture, and community development. 

Here are some of the larger grants awarded by The Schenectady Foundation over the past 60 years, showcasing the significant impact the Foundation has had on the community.

 

Come Together to Celebrate!

Our Diamond Anniversary Celebration will feature several events and programs including:

  • Diamond Anniversary Commencement Celebration in June 2023
  • Community Leadership Summit in Fall 2023
  • Celebration of Community in June 2024.

At the Commencement Celebration, we announced new grants and scholarship programs to support our mission of improving the health and welfare of the people who live or work in Schenectady County.

In addition to these events, we are launching a new Grassroots Equity Grants Fund.

To kickstart the Grassroots Equity Grants Fund, The Foundation will match the first $130,000 contributed to this Fund, doubling the impact of your contribution.

 

Double your impact!

The Schenectady Foundation will match
the first $130,000 donated to the
Grassroots Equity Grants Fund 
giving your gift twice the impact.
