About Us
The Central New York Community Foundation has served the community for over 80 years by receiving, managing and distributing charitable funds to not-for-profit organizations in Onondaga and Madison counties. The Community Foundation has over $110 million in assets, and awards over $5 million in grants to not-for-profit organizations annually.

 
The Community Foundation plays a number of roles in the Central New York community. We aim to enhance the quality of life for those who live and work within the community by:
  • Encouraging the growth of a permanent charitable endowment to meet the community's changing opportunities and needs;

  • Providing vehicles for donors with diverse philanthropic interests which make giving easy, personally satisfying and effective;

  • Serving as a catalyst, neutral convener and facilitator by stimulating and promoting collaborations among various organizations to accomplish common objectives;

  • Carrying out a strategic grantmaking program that is flexible, visionary and inclusive.
