We extend our heartfelt gratitude to The Schenectady Foundation for their incredible support. Their generous grant of $100,000 marks a significant milestone in our journey toward acquiring our own facility. The Schenectady Foundation has been a steadfast partner, and this six-figure grant exemplifies their unwavering commitment to our cause. With their support, we are one step closer to providing a transformative learning environment for the children we serve. This grant is a testament to the positive impact we can achieve when our community comes together, and we are deeply thankful for The Schenectady Foundation’s belief in our mission.
Past Grants from The Schenectady Foundation
Crossroads Center for Children has been a proud recipient of several grants from The Schenectady Foundation (TSF) over the years. These generous grants have enabled us to enhance our programs and facilities, ultimately benefiting the children and families we serve. The support from TSF has allowed us to make significant strides in providing quality education and support to children with autism and special needs. Here’s a glimpse of the projects that have been made possible through the continued support of TSF:
- Curriculum Expansion: With the help of TSF, we expanded our curriculum by introducing programs like Learning Without Tears and Touch Math into our classrooms. These additions have enriched the learning experience for our students, providing them with more tools and resources to thrive.
- Healthy Food Program: TSF’s support played a crucial role in launching our Healthy Food Program. This initiative has not only improved the overall well-being of our students but also instilled healthy eating habits from a young age.
- Improved Facilities During COVID-19: During the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, TSF’s assistance allowed us to install sinks in two school-age rooms. These additional facilities were essential for maintaining hygiene and safety while providing in-person services to our students.
- The Building of Our Own: We are thrilled to announce that TSF is providing a substantial grant of $100,000 for our “Building of Our Own” project. This grant is a significant milestone in our journey towards securing a dedicated facility for our programs and services.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to The Schenectady Foundation for its unwavering support, which has made a profound impact on our organization and, most importantly, on the lives of the children we serve. We look forward to continuing our partnership with TSF and creating a brighter future for our community.
Sincerely, Crossroads Center for Children
