Couple's donation, matching grant will help provide generic drugs at Schenectady clinic

Mark and Terri Little presented the Schenectady Free Health Clinic with a $50,000 donation that will be used to purchase generic drugs for its patients. They used their own foundation to match a $25,000 grant for charity that Mark Little, the head of GE Global Research, received from General Electric Chairman Jeff Immelt in January.

Grants like this one are critical to maintain the clinic's operation in the community. The clinic now operates primarily from private donations and grants, ever since losing the bulk of its state funding about four years ago.
