Overview**

We believe that Central New York has the human and social capital to build a vibrant community. Generational poverty and social inequality present a significant hindrance to realizing our full potential. We know from extensive research that there are strategies and investments that can make a difference. That’s why we have a local, place based approach to addressing systemic and structural inequity. We are authentic, strategic and collaborative, and we are embracing a future of prosperity and equity in our community.

Focus Areas

Economic Development & Opportunity

In Cayuga and Onondaga Counties, the Allyn Family Foundation works to create, grow, and attract businesses that are community-owned, or that create good jobs for nearby residents. We support residents in accessing economic opportunities that provide tools for personal and family financial stability.

Early Childhood Development

Our investment in the critical period from pregnancy to age three aims to catalyze lifetime success so that all children in our community are healthy, thriving and ready to succeed in school. This includes a focus on parents and caregivers so that families of young children are supported in their parenting and have the skills and resources to raise children in healthy and nurturing environments.

These days, investing in early childhood is a no-brainer. The science is compelling and communities all over the world are working on building stronger, more comprehensive and equitable systems and programs to support families and children.

In Cayuga and Onondaga Counties, the Allyn Family Foundation is providing leadership and support for diverse community coalitions who are focused on designing community-wide approaches to improving early childhood systems and supports for vulnerable families. Two different communities, two different approaches, based on each community’s needs and priorities.

Vibrant Neighborhoods

Empower community organizations and residents to transform their neighborhoods into safe, healthy, and vibrant places where families thrive; ensuring that each person has access to clean, stable and affordable housing, as well as neighborhood-based cultural experiences that build community.

Women's Health

We are working with our partners to support young women and their partners to make informed, empowered decisions related to reproductive wellbeing, to increase the number of providers who offer the full range of birth control options; increase capacity at our publicly-funded clinics; and improve coordination among local outreach and education.
