The Woman's Club of Albany is one of the oldest not-for-profit community organizations in the Capital Region. We donate to local organizations serving the needs of women and children, volunteer for a wide range of projects, and offer opportunities for new social, professional and community connections.

Capping
four years of diligent and very hard work by a band of dedicated
members, the Woman’s Club of Albany has received a $148,500 state grant
to help pay for long-awaited exterior repairs to our home.
The
grant was awarded through the state’s Regional Economic Development
Councils.
This
is the third grant the WCA has received in recent months to help
realize our goal of repairing the main entrance & front porch,
stabilizing the side entrance, resolving water infiltration & installing a ramp to make the building handicap accessible. As we celebrate
100 years of home ownership, it is gratifying to know we can fulfill our
mission as stewards of this beautiful house.
