In March 2009, the Central New York Community Foundation closed on the purchase of our new home. The historic University Club Building, located at 431 East Fayette Street, will serve as our permanent home and a hub for charitable collaboration.
When we move into the space in the fall of 2010, the CNY Philanthropy Center will provide ample and unique space for unprecedented collaboration between the Community Foundation, private foundations and nonprofit organizations as well as business and community leaders.
A Place for Convening
The Community Foundation plays a significant civic leadership role in our region. By connecting people, resources and ideas, we help improve the quality of life for those who live and work in our local area. Multiple spaces will be available to bring people and groups together to review and address community issues with the hopes of forging new partnerships and strengthening those that already exist.
The building’s first floor will house our operations with a reception area, a mix of open and private offices and meeting rooms. The second floor will serve as a conference center, which will consist of a large, flexible event room with access to an outdoor veranda. These various accommodations will be used to hold donor and grantee meetings and events as well as provide for accessible community space. The unused portion of the building, primarily on the third floor and a portion of the second floor, will be offered to other charitable organizations that would like to rent the space.
Our new space will provide limitless possibilities to work together with a variety of people and organizations towards our common goal – to improve the quality of life for those who live and work in Central New York.
A Permanent Home
We believe that the purchase of a permanent home will be a useful tool in heightening our visibility while also demonstrating our long-term commitment to the community. Now our region’s largest endowed philanthropic resource, we were created more than 80 years ago to exist in perpetuity as a solid, trusted and flexible source of charitable capital. We believe that the CNY Philanthropy Center will enhance the mission of the Community Foundation to expand the impact of regional philanthropy and be a force for positive change.
Investing in Downtown
Overlooking historic Fayette Park and situated on the Connective Corridor between Syracuse University and downtown Syracuse, the Philanthropy Center is positioned to be part of downtown’s renaissance. With a purchase price of $1 million, we see the creation of the CNY Philanthropy Center as a vital investment in downtown.
