About Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York
Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York Inc centers its giving on food security and emergency food distribution, with grantmaking that is tightly tied to partner agencies across New York. In the recent grants list, the largest award went to Schenectady Community Ministries at $555,830 in 2023, combining an OSP grant and NNY award. Other large awards show the same pattern of support for local food access organizations, including Capital Roots in Troy at $314,159 and Commission of Economic Opportunity in Troy at $313,373, both in 2023. The foundation also supported Feeding NYS in Albany at $298,405 in 2024 and Cornell Cooperative Ext Orange Co in Middletown at $241,362 in 2023. Its grantmaking reaches beyond direct food distribution into food rescue and waste reduction, nutrition and healthy food access, and community food programs, but the clearest signal is consistent support for organizations that move food to households and strengthen the agencies doing that work. The presence of repeated awards to the same grantees across multiple years suggests an ongoing relationship with local partners rather than one-time funding only.
