About Community Works

Community Works is Vassar’s annual giving campaign for local non-profit organizations. Funded by donations from employees, trustees, and students, Community Works has provided over $1 million in grants to over 50 different groups since its inception in 2001. Recipients are selected each year by an employee committee based upon nominations from Vassar College employees. 100% of all donations will be divided equally and distributed directly to the ten 2026 grant recipients.
