You’re invited to The State of Caring, an exclusive event where we’ll reveal new research on how Central New York thinks about charity and philanthropy, courtesy of Drive Research, Tuesday, September 16, 2025 at the Marriott Downtown Syracuse.
Join us as we dive into what our community believes about giving, volunteering, and supporting local causes. We’ll compare our findings to the national survey, offering a unique look at what makes our region’s heart for giving so special.
This is more than just a presentation — it’s a chance to connect with fellow community members and leaders who are passionate about making a difference right here in CNY.
In addition, United Way will highlight the latest data on local needs and recognize a handful of extraordinary businesses, individuals, and organizations for Achievements in Caring.
7:30am Registration & Networking | 8:00am – 9:00am Program
State of Caring is made possible thanks to our title sponsor IBEW Local 43 Union Electricians and support from Equitable and The Dorothy and Marshall M. Reisman Foundation.
