"I became a member of The Foundation’s Legacy Society because I have seen firsthand the impact that our giving can make. Delivering grant checks and meeting directly with several organizations that are recipients was an enlightening experience; reaffirming the need for The Foundation, what we do today, and what we can do in the future. Adding The Foundation to my long-term philanthropic plans gives me the peace of mind that I am supporting my passion while still providing for members of my family." Cristine Cioffi, Cioffi •Slezak• Wildgrube P.C., Niskayuna, New York (past president of The Foundation)
