The arrival of spring and warmer days in Albany, New York signals an exciting time of year for Homestead Funding—a season of Helping Hands in action.
Helping Hands is our employee volunteer group dedicated to putting people first, both inside and outside the office. Through donations, sponsorships, and hands-on involvement, we support community initiatives that make a meaningful difference for our families, friends, and neighbors.
This year, we’re especially excited about four major events in the Albany area that highlight and support the diverse needs of our community.
Homestead Funding is proud to support a Comedy Night for a Cause at Mohawk Golf Club on Thursday, April 23. The evening will feature three comedians, with proceeds benefiting Blood Cancer United (previously the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society). Since 1949, the organization has invested more than $2 billion in research to advance treatment and care.

On Thursday, May 21, team members will take part in the CDPHP Workforce Team Challenge, a 3.5-mile road race through downtown Albany. Organized by the Hudson-Mohawk Road Runners Club in partnership with CDPHP, this event supports several local nonprofits, including the Road Runners Club, Crossroads Center for Children, and Catholic Charities Tri-County Services.
