About the Community Works Campaign
Community Works is a philanthropic campaign whose mission is to provide financial assistance to local not-for-profit organizations. Funded by donations from employees and students of Vassar College, Community Works has funded over 40 different institutions in the Hudson Valley since its inception in 2001. Recipients are selected each year by a committee of staff, administrators, faculty, and students.
Your donation will help support local organizations doing critical work in areas such as:
- Hunger
- Homelessness
- The environment
- Youth empowerment
- Domestic violence
- Child abuse
- Arts in the community
- LGBTQ services
Since all administrative costs are covered by the College, 100% of your donation reaches the sponsored organizations.
