Our team at The Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region has been a proud supporter of their work.

The Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region’s office will be closed today to acknowledge that we live, work, and benefit from the traditional homelands that were originally peopled by the Sovereign Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy (Haudenosaunee), including the Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca, and other first nations. As a philanthropic partner, the Community Foundation honors the land itself with gratitude and we acknowledge the people who have stewarded the land, lost lives, and had their land taken unjustly throughout the ages. We honor the rich history and cultures of Indigenous peoples that continue today.?
