WE ARE SO PROUD! 🥲Huge congratulations are in order for newly awarded high school graduates, HVFYH Youth Board Members, Adriana and Kaylyn!

These Youth Board Members have not only dedicated themselves as full members of HVFYH during their high school careers, using their positions to grant meaningful support throughout the Hudson Valley, supporting organizations that uplift fellow youth access, passions and programming - they accomplished all this while maintaining high honor roll grades and applying themselves in extracurricular activities! Many congratulations, Adriana & Kaylyn - your achievements are nothing short of amazing! 🎆

🥲It's a privilege to partner with incredible people, organizations, and communities to invest in the wellbeing of youth. This is especially meaningful as our support was matched by amazing community members! Bravo to Catskills Alliance for Housing & Preservation for creating catalytic change for young people, and to The Overlook News for sharing the story!

The Phoenicia Food Pantry, a community resource since the 1980s that provides food and goods with no questions asked, is tackling food insecurity for the next generation by working with local groups to provide free lunches to Shandaken’s Summer Recreation Program.

In creating the HVFYH, George Sisco built a blueprint for how a community can invest in youth. The Times Union just told his story with equal parts gravity and heart, and it's well worth a read.

Three decades and $3 million in grants later, we are humbled to carry his legacy forward.

Read his story, and you'll be moved to make a difference, too:

George Sisco built a Hudson Valley nonprofit that awarded millions to programs helping children and families across the region.

Yes, we make grants - but did you know that we're also a nonprofit? It's true! Our work is strengthened by the incredible support of sponsors and we are GRATEFUL. Today we want to give a huge thank-you to Markertek - America's Broadcast Supply House!

Beyond their support of HVFYH, Markertek’s exemplary model of community generosity is a beacon of supporting the young people of our Hudson Valley! Three cheers for this global business with deep local roots. 🥳
