CNY Philanthropy Center

We established the Central New York Philanthropy Center in 2010 to serve as our permanent home and as a hub for charitable collaboration. The three-story building serves as an inspiring and welcoming place for our area’s change makers to gather.

The historic University Club building, located at 431 East Fayette Street, provides ample and unique space for unprecedented collaboration between the Community Foundation, private foundations and nonprofit organizations as well as business and community leaders. It is a beacon for the nonprofit community, serving as a place to think, plan, meet and innovate. We welcome you to explore what the Philanthropy Center has to offer you and our community.

3/12/2026 Update:

Please note that our elevator is currently inoperable and is scheduled for repairs in early April. We kindly ask visitors to take this into consideration when requesting room reservations on the second or third floors through March 30, 2026.

Additionally, the CNY Philanthropy Center will be closed from March 30 through April 10, and no reservations will be accepted during that time.
