CEO Update: September 5, 2025

At STHCS, we are always looking for ways to connect with resources that strengthen our work. This week, I spoke with Cristian Romero, Assistant Director for the Office of Faith and Nonprofit Development Services. His office is dedicated to supporting nonprofit leaders across New York State, including guidance on navigating the Statewide Financial System (SFS).

If your organization needs essential information, assistance accessing state grants, or support to strengthen its capacity, please reach out to ofnds@dos.ny.gov or (646) 561-1003. They also offer a monthly newsletter with helpful resources for nonprofits. STHCS will continue to share opportunities like this to ensure nonprofits in our region have the tools and connections they need to succeed.

Celebrating Family Milestones at STHCS

This week was a very special one for our STHCS family—our team member Lindsey finalized the adoption of her son Kevin! Surrounded by friends, classmates, and family, the celebration was filled with joy. Kevin even received his adoption bear and got to celebrate his 9th birthday the same day.

Moments like this remind us that supporting families—both in our community and among our staff—is at the heart of our mission. Please join us in celebrating Lindsey and her family on this unforgettable milestone.
