The Howard & Bush Foundation Campaign Celebration



Join The Howard & Bush Foundation Trustees in the Jane Altes Gallery at the Arts Center of the Capital Region to celebrate the success of the Foundation’s campaign and the invaluable work of the non-profits it supports across Troy and throughout Rensselaer County.

The Howard & Bush Foundation has been a steadfast presence in Troy and Rensselaer County communities for over sixty years. Focused entirely on improving the lives of these communities, the Foundation works by awarding impactful grants and encouraging local service providers to work together.

Through grants, Howard & Bush supports a wide range of non-profits, spanning from arts and culture to social services and education. Since its inception in 1962, the Foundation has contributed over $16 million towards community programs and improvements. Twice a year, the Foundation receives numerous applications from local organizations and, after careful consideration, awards grants to those most likely to make a positive change in the life of the community.

When: Tuesday, October 15, 2024, 5:30-7 pm. The brief program begins at 6 pm. Photo, video, and interview opportunities are available.

Why: This event offers a unique opportunity for the media to gain insights into the impactful work being done by local non-profits supported by The Howard & Bush Foundation. Attendees will have the chance to capture compelling stories, conduct interviews with key Howard & Bush and non-profit leaders, and witness firsthand the positive changes being made in the community.
