What We Do
Background & Mission
The Foundation is an independent private foundation that is the community legacy of The Troy Savings Bank. Although the Bank was acquired by another institution in 2004, the Foundation continues the Bank's proud charitable giving tradition with an emphasis on programs and initiatives that build stronger communities.
Funding Goals
The Foundation seeks to fund initiatives that will make positive and lasting changes in our communities. Of special interest to the Foundation are grantmaking opportunities that leverage grant effect through collaboration with other not-for-profit organizations, government agencies, and private funding sources. In short, the Foundation encourages grant applicants to form community partnerships that will create long lasting benefits and efficiencies.
Community Partner
The Foundation works in partnership with nonprofit organizations and local governments to strengthen our communities. Our staff and board members serve on task forces, convene community meetings, and work alongside our grantees on community workdays. We encourage nonprofit leaders to talk with us about their challenges and opportunities because those conversations can spark programs that can make a difference in our communities.
Community Partners in Action
There is a saying that a photo is worth a thousand words, and we believe that the photos below show the good work of our grantees far better than we could ever say in words. Thank you to all the grantees who shared photos of the work that they do to make our communities stronger.
