Moreau Community Center Launches “Help Lift Us Up!” Capital Campaign Following Major NYS BRICKS Grant Award
South Glens Falls, NY — The Moreau Community Center is proud to announce it has been awarded a $712,000 New York State BRICKS (Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities) Grant to support critical facility improvements. To secure the funding, the Center is launching a capital campaign—“Help Lift Us Up!”—to raise the required $178,000 match, with a goal of generating just over $200,000 to also help offset architectural and related project costs.
This transformative project, estimated at $890,000, will significantly improve accessibility, safety, and sustainability at the Center. Planned upgrades include the installation of an elevator, a new roof, and ADA-accessible bathrooms, ensuring that the building better serves all members of the community for years to come.
“This is a pivotal moment for the Moreau Community Center,” said Donna Nichols, Executive Director. “These improvements are about more than infrastructure—they’re about making sure everyone in our community can fully access and benefit from the programs and services we offer.”
While the BRICKS grant covers 80% of the project, the Center must raise the remaining 20% match. The organization has committed a portion of its investment savings but is calling on the community to help meet—and exceed—this goal. As part of the fundraising effort, proceeds from the Center’s first-ever gala, to be held on October 2nd at The Queensbury, will directly support the campaign. Construction is anticipated to begin as early as fall 2026, with up to five years to complete the project. Community members, businesses, and supporters are encouraged to contribute to this important initiative and help “lift up” the Center for future generations.
