The Tryon Family Foundation has a collaborative mission to continue the family philosophy of "Giving for the Greater Good" by supporting community-based not-for-profit organizations. Most of these organizations are located in the Hudson Valley region of New York and Berkshires in western Massachusetts.
We believe the arts enrich us all. Our area is filled with world-renowned institutions and their contributions to our community are far-reaching.
Open spaces are shrinking as urban development expands into rural areas. Protecting our natural resources, and the organizations that maintain them, is critical to us.
It is crucial we support and protect our history as it provides a window into our past, which helps us learn how we arrived at the present and guides us into the future .
We love animals and believe in their well-being and protection from inhumane treatment.
In addition to helping find cures and better treatments for diseases like cancer, it is also important to support programs helping those touched by life's unexpected moments.
The Tryon family believes in the viability of good educational institutions that support those who will enrich our communities and make our world a better place.
Beyond the core six categories above, we also believe in supporting organizations with diversified programs rooted in the communities where we live.
This simple act carries with it the power to touch many, to enrich oneself with a sense of purpose, and last throughout eternity.
