Organizations in Onondaga and Cayuga Counties that meet our stated mission of building a vibrant, equitable and prosperous community 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 completed Opportunity Fund application should be submitted via email to Amy Nye at anye@allynfoundation.org.

Funding from the Allyn Family Foundation typically ranges from $5,000 to $25,000.  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.
