Syracuse Foundation
What Is The Syracuse Foundation, INC.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please email syracusefoundation@gmail.com.
The Syracuse Foundation was established as a non-profit tax-exempt corporation. Our goal is to seek out the needs of the local area, whether civic, educational, cultural, recreational, humanitarian, or health and help fund solutions to these needs.
Funds to meet these needs come essentially as direct gifts from individuals, memorial contributions, and bequests.
The Foundation gathers and manages capital of all amounts from individuals, families, businesses, and foundations. The income from this capital is applied to uses that serve the best interests in the community.
The Syracuse Foundation pools the assets and represents the ideas and interests of people who want to increase the impact of their philanthropy. IT IS NOT A PLACE TO GIVE MONEY, BUT RATHER A METHOD OF GIVING MONEY.
The Foundation has obtained its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status; therefore, all contributions can be tax deductible. Any person may contribute any amount at any time to a current Foundation project, to a new project they might want or to whatever use the donor desires.
How to Make Your Gift
Your gifts can be either undesignated as to purpose or you may, within a reasonable latitude, designate the object of your gift.
