This is a temporary home page for United Way of the Greater Capital Region. We are currently in the process of developing a new website that will be launched in the first quarter of 2008. In the meantime, we invite you to visit United Way of Schenectady County's and United Way of Northeastern New York's existing websites for information on either organization.

If you would like to visit either of existing websites, please click here:

the old way
Service to communities defined by county lines; identify issues and treat the symptoms of a problem.

the “united way”
Service to communities defined by common issues, regional collaboration, shared resources, improved lives and a stronger community for the entire greater Capital Region; multiple partners work together to identify new approaches to tackle the root causes of the issues.

This more comprehensive and personal approach will changes lives and communities for the long term.

United Way of the Greater Capital Region
For more than 80 years, there have been two United Ways providing community support throughout the Capital Region: United Way of Northeastern New York, which serves the communities of Albany, Saratoga, Rensselaer and Schoharie counties, and United Way of Schenectady County.

The membership of the two United Ways voted to approve the merger into one new organization, United Way of the Greater Capital Region.

This new organization will be marked by a commitment to serving communities defined by common issues, regional collaboration, shared resources, improved lives and a stronger community for all residents of the greater Capital Region
