Building strong families & vibrant neighborhoods 

in Central New York.

Opportunity Fund

​

Organizations in Onondaga and Cayuga Counties that meet our stated mission of building strong families and vibrant neighborhoods may submit a brief one-to-two-page summary of a proposed project or funding request.  These funding request summaries may be submitted at any time and are reviewed on a rolling basis.

 

In general, the Allyn Family Foundation is open to requests that:

​​

• Support healthy development for children and families

• Build family economic stability and self-sufficiency

• Support places and spaces that bring people together with intention

• Build neighborhoods of choice

• Amplify community voice and power-building

 

The summary document must include:

​

• a brief description of your organization

• an overview of the project

• how it addresses a community need

• the project timeline

• the overall budget and requested amount

• anticipated outcomes

​

The one-to-two-page summary should be submitted via email to Amy Nye at anye@allynfoundation.org.

​

Funding from the Allyn Family Foundation typically ranges from $5,000 to $15,000.  Any additional questions may be directed to Amy Nye at the Allyn Family Foundation office by email at anye@allynfoundation.org or by phone at 315-685-5059.
