Local home improvement leader doubles community impact with dollar-for-dollar match

New York Sash, a leading home improvement company serving Central New York, is proud to announce a $10,000 donation to Notre Dame School through this year’s Mohawk Valley Gives initiative. The contribution was made possible through New York Sash’s generous matching program, which doubled every dollar donated to the school up to $10,000 during the annual giving campaign.

Hosted annually by the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties, Mohawk Valley Gives unites area nonprofits, businesses, and residents for a single day of giving. This year, New York Sash joined the effort with a mission to inspire others to contribute to education and youth development in the Mohawk Valley.

“Notre Dame School has been educating and shaping young minds in our community for generations, and we couldn’t be more honored to support their mission,” said Jill Hayes, CEO of New York Sash. “When local businesses invest in education, everyone wins,” Hayes added. “We’re not just building better homes—we’re helping to build better futures for the children who will lead our community forward.”

This year’s matching donation will help Notre Dame continue to enhance educational programs, maintain facilities, and expand opportunities for students to grow academically and spiritually.

“Community support like this makes a world of difference,” said Rick Hensel, Principal of Notre Dame Jr/Sr High School. “The generosity of New York Sash not only provides critical funding but also encourages others to be part of something bigger.”

New York Sash has been an active supporter of local education, veterans, and community events throughout Central New York for over three decades. The company’s participation in Mohawk Valley Gives reflects its continued commitment to making a lasting, positive impact in the region.
