Founded in 1954, the Allyn Foundation is a private, family foundation that provides grants to charitable organizations primarily in Central New York. The Foundation’s funding priorities are a reflection of the generous legacy of William N. Allyn, founder of Welch Allyn, and his son, William G. Allyn. The Foundation serves as a vehicle for the family to collectively foster the practice of philanthropy among succeeding generations. Through its work and the organizations it funds, the foundation seeks to reflect its family value, “Be Always Kind and True.”
