Intentional Global Impact

UpMobility Foundation is excited to announce our new partnership with the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties. Starting this month, we’ll be operating under the Community Foundation’s umbrella as a way to strengthen our organizational capacity and expand our impact. By tapping into the Community Foundation’s extensive network and learning from their innovative approach to grantmaking, we’re positioning ourselves to make an even greater difference for our grantees.

Our commitment to supporting grant partners beyond our local area remains strong, and we’re eager to explore new ways to connect resources and ideas from Upstate New York to our nonprofit partners nationwide.
