About Our Partner:
Our October Supper Club is brought to you by The Collective by CNYWN in partnership with the Central New York Community Foundation.
The Central New York Community Foundation is a public charity that turns community dollars into community change.
Established in 1927, it receives contributions from donors, manages them to grow over time and then distributes funding to address the region’s greatest needs. The foundation has invested more than $320 million in community projects that benefit Central New York. It also serves as a civic leader, convener and sponsor of strategic initiatives that foster a thriving and equitable region and address the most critical issues of our time.
The gifts they receive come from those who want to give back to Central New York in some way – either during their lifetimes or as a legacy that carries on after they are gone. We then turn those community dollars into community change – by supporting and mobilizing nonprofit efforts around the region’s most critical needs.

This is more than fine dining—it’s a strategy session designed to help you think bigger, grow smarter, and connect deeper with the women shaping Central New York’s future.
