Connecting local donors, nonprofits, and community needs across the Hudson Valley since our founding.
The Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan does something quietly powerful: it takes charitable dollars from people who care about this region and routes them exactly where they are needed most. From the farms of Sullivan County to the growing communities of Montgomery, NY, the foundation serves as a permanent, locally governed fund that outlasts any single donor's lifetime.
Every grant awarded, every scholarship funded, and every nonprofit supported here reflects a decision made by people who actually live in these two counties. That local accountability matters. Unlike national charities where dollars disappear into a distant headquarters, contributions managed through cfosny.org stay in the Hudson Valley and are stewarded by a board that answers to this community.
With a perfect 5-star rating from the people who have worked with this organization, the foundation has earned a reputation for transparency, responsiveness, and genuine impact. If you have ever wanted your charitable giving to do more than write a check and hope for the best, this is where that conversation starts.
The foundation offers several distinct ways to give and to receive support. Donors can establish named funds, contribute to existing funds, or set up planned gifts that extend their generosity beyond their lifetime. Every fund is professionally managed, tax-advantaged, and aligned with the donor's specific charitable intentions, whether that means supporting arts education, food security, youth development, or local emergency relief.
For nonprofits in Orange and Sullivan Counties, the foundation is a critical source of grant funding, capacity-building support, and community convening. Organizations working on housing, health access, environmental stewardship, and social services have all benefited from foundation grants. The team at 30 Scott's Corners Drive can walk prospective applicants through the process from start to finish.
Scholarship programs round out the foundation's work, helping local students access higher education with funding that reflects the values of the donors who established each award.
