Building on our commitment to collect and analyze local data as well as the experience we have accumulated with nearly a century of service to our region, we serve as a resource to all residents seeking insights on social and community issues. We work to identify initiatives that will positively impact the Central New York region. The following programs help bring those data and strategic insights to the community, so that we can collectively measure progress and plan action together, as we remain committed to improving CNY for generations to come.

Community Data Group

Gatherings for individuals to share data and coordinate efforts to help our community improve more effectively. Meetings are held at the CNY Philanthropy Center every Friday at 8:30 a.m. Contact Mark King at kingmarkd@gmail.com for more information.

CNY Vitals

A ‘state of the community’ website that provides a common source of data and interactive visualizations on critical topics that affect the health and progress of our region.
