Building a Stronger Community

Our MissionThe Community Foundation for the Greater

Capital Region strengthens our community by

attracting charitable endowments both large and

small, maximizing benefits to donors, making

effective grants, and providing leadership to

address community needs.

Our VisionThe Community Foundation for the Greater

Capital Region was founded in 1968 by a group

of prominent local residents who shared a belief

that by collectively investing our charitable

resources, we could grow them over time to

benefit our community far into the future.

Today, the Foundation has more than $63 million

in assets, and in 2013, distributed more than

$4.87 million each year in scholarships to local

students and grants to nonprofit organizations.

As the needs of the greater Capital Region

become more complex, the Foundation is proud

of its role as a leader in responding to needs and

leveraging support for emerging issues. Together

with our Board of Directors and the support of

our community, we look forward to working

with donors, community leaders and volunteers

to respond to issues with flexibility, creativity

and efficiency.

In 1968, the Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region’s first year of operations, the Foundation held$46,000 in assets and awarded $600 in grants to nonprofit organizations. Over the years, thanks to careful financialstewardship and the partnership of generous donors, the Foundation’s assets and grantmaking ability have grownexponentially.

As foundations across the United States celebrate the centennial anniversary of the community foundationmovement (which started with the founding of the Cleveland Foundation on January 2, 1914), the CommunityFoundation for the Greater Capital Region is doing more than ever before to strengthen our community throughleadership, philanthropic guidance and grantmaking.


The major part of Saratoga Shakespeare’s

summer performance season has just

ended, and I have a moment to extend a

sincere thank you for the wonderful series

of workshops which you coordinated. I

participated in all four sessions of the

Capacity Building Mini Grant Program and

each session was well organized, well

presented and filled with vital material for

all in attendance.

I had a unique perspective: I attended as

the executive director of The Saratoga

Shakespeare Company, but I also serve on

the board of The International Center of the

Capital Region. From my dual perspectives,

I felt that I was participating in a Masters’

degree-level intensive program.

Last year, as part of an emergency

measure, I stepped into the role as

Executive Director of Saratoga

Shakespeare, but I knew that I had a lot of

learning to do. (NYCON Executive

Director) Doug Sauer’s presentations on

the duties and responsibilities of a board

of directors and the NYS Revitalization

Act contained extremely pertinent

material for Saratoga Shakespeare as an

organization in transition. Each session

proved to be helpful, thought-provoking

and provided an important

stepping-stone in my education as

an executive director.

I also want to express my gratitude for the

“Office Hour” meetings, which provided a

thorough introduction to the Community

Foundation. I found the session extremely

helpful. It not only introduced me to the

Foundation, but also served as

introduction to the many other nonprofits

who attended. The Office Hour session

provides a “non-official” opportunity for

community nonprofits to learn how we

can connect and assist each other.

Jackie Mahoney also arranged for me to

meet individually with her. She took the

time to learn more about the Saratoga

Shakespeare Co. and to share vital

information about the Community

Foundation.

I have a lot of work in front of me, but the

workshop sessions and additional learning

opportunities have provided guideposts to

help me build a thriving arts organization,

which like the Foundation, seeks to

enhance the quality of life in the region.

Thank you for providing these

opportunities.

Community Impact Funds help the Foundation address the community’s most pressing needs. Donors can rely onthe Community Foundation to identify organizations capable of making the greatest impact in the specific issuearea or region of particular importance to them.

Donor Advised Funds allow donors to recommend grants to support specific charitable organizations. Fundadvisors make grant recommendations; the Community Foundation then vets the recipient nonprofit organizationand handles all legal and administrative details.

Agency Funds help nonprofit organizations build financial stability. The Foundation partners with local nonprofitorganizations to build long-term, sustainable fiscal reserves that can benefit the organization far into the future.

Designated Funds are an easy way to ensure a donor’s favorite nonprofit organization(s) receive grants for aspecific amount of time, or in perpetuity. Donors select specific nonprofits, the Foundation invests the charitableassets, and regularly pays grants to the designated charities.

Field of Interest Funds are established to benefit a donor’s area of interest. The donor specifies an area of interest(such as the arts, education or the environment), and the Foundation ensures grants are made to effective nonprofitorganizations whose programs and services match the donor’s intent.

Community Foundation Operating Funds are a stable, long-term source of revenue for the Community Foundation.Operating Funds are the result of the generosity of donors who have given directly to the Foundation to helppreserve their ability to operate now, and in the years to come.

Scholarship Funds give donors the opportunity to help students realize their educational dreams. Donors candesignate eligibility requirements and selection criteria, and work with the Foundation to name an advisorycommittee to assist with making awards.

and financial training opportunities and

by encouraging nonprofits to utilize our

The board and professional team at

NYCON is deeply grateful for our strong

partnership with the Community

Foundation – a partnership that is of true

substance and open and shared

communication. Together, we are

When I began working at the Community

Foundation more than a decade ago, the

Foundation awarded about $2 million each year

in grants to nonprofit organizations and in

scholarships to local students. In 2013, in

partnership with our donors and affiliates, the

Community Foundation gave nearly $5 million in

grants and scholarships.

One of the most interesting parts of my work is

getting a bird’s-eye view of issues being addressed

by local nonprofit organizations through grant

applications. Reviewing grant submissions helps the

Foundation to understand growing issues in the communities we serve,

and it allows us to respond proactively.

The Community Foundation is many things. The Foundation is a

philanthropic partner for donors, a resource for professional advisors, a

leader and partner in the Capital Region nonprofit community... and a

grantmaking organization.

The Foundation’s unique view on nonprofit activities and emerging

community needs allows us to be a better partner to local nonprofit

organization. We encourage collaboration between agencies and leaders,

so that organizations can serve shared audiences better and most

efficiently. We work with organizations such as the New York Council on

Nonprofits (NYCON) to provide training that addresses knowledge or

experience gaps in the nonprofit community. We work with Foundation

donors to educate them and encourage them to fund programs and

organizations that are tackling issues effectively and efficiently.

Through strategic grantmaking and the support of the Foundation’s

donors, the Foundation is helping to build a stronger community for all

those who live, work and visit the greater Capital Region. It’s a privilege

to direct the Foundation’s grantmaking, and a true pleasure to see our

grantmaking grow each year.

Dear CFGCR Board of Directors,

On Monday evening the Board of the

For example, this pastyear’s animal welfare cohort is datagathering and completing an ambitiousstudy of the services offered, gaps in thecommunity, ways to address gaps andtheir capacity to share resources. Thefellows learn together, work together and the result is an enhanced communityin which the sharing of resources is possible.

For more than a decade, the Troy Savings

Bank Charitable Foundation has proudly

worked with the Community Foundation

on funding initiatives for local nonprofit

organizations.

The Troy Savings Bank Charitable

Foundation was established in 1999 to

provide financial support to nonprofit

organizations throughout the greater

Capital Region and the southern

Adirondacks region. Since inception, the

Troy Savings Bank Foundation has

provided more than $9 million in funding

to support local charitable initiatives.

As funding organizations, the Community

Foundation and the Troy Savings Bank

Charitable Foundation have a unique view

on emerging needs and current issues

affecting local communities.

The challenges facing the population of

the greater Capital Region are unique,

numerous and diverse. These challenges

require creative, forward-thinking

responses. By working together, the Troy

Savings Bank Charitable Foundation and

the Community Foundation have been

able to drive greater action and award

larger grants than either organization

could if we acted independently.

The Bethlehem Central Community

Foundation (BCCF) has worked as an

affiliate of the Community Foundation for

the Greater Capital Region since 2011.

BCCF was established in 1998 to support

students and educators in the Bethlehem

Central School District through

grantmaking and scholarships. BCCF

provides funding for initiatives not

traditionally supported by tax dollars,

such as our Classroom Innovation Grants,

which provide funding for unique

educational opportunities and programs

that promote academic achievement.

As an affiliate, the Community Foundation

assists BCCF with administrative and

grantmaking support. This relationship

allows BCCF to reduce operating

expenses by eliminating our need for paid

staff members, office space and

equipment. BCCF also benefits from the

Community Foundation’s sound financial

management, through which our funds

grow over time, increasing BCCF’s ability

to support our community.

In the three years since BCCF became an

affiliate of the Community Foundation, we

have awarded nearly $30,000 in grants.

BCCF’s grantmaking has grown each year,

from $6,000 in 2011 to more than

$14,000 in 2013.

Friends of the Bethlehem Central Community Foundation

We can’t know what the future will bring

for Bethlehem Central School District’s

budget, or what needs will arise for

students. But we do know that our work

with the Community Foundation for the

Greater Capital Region has made it

possible to continue supporting

educational opportunities for teachers

and students in Bethlehem far into the

future. We are grateful for the support and

guidance of the Community Foundation

and their excellent staff, and we look

forward to working with them for many

years to come.
