AUBURN, N.Y. — The Allyn Family Foundation has awarded Cayuga Centers a $75,000 grant to help with the purchase of property in Auburn, recently named in honor of the agency’s late board chair, Frederick N. Richardson.
Edward Myers Hayes, president and CEO of Cayuga Centers, says the acquisition of the 210 Osborne St. property will help the nonprofit “add space to our growing respite program for individuals with developmental disabilities as well as reduce costs by owning instead of leasing the property,” according to a Cayuga Centers news release.
Timothy Kelly, a fundraising specialist with Cayuga Centers, notes the purchase of the building is part of the agency’s current capital campaign to build capacity to accommodate expansion brought on by program growth across the agency’s multiple locations. The grant is also earmarked to help fund the expansion of “weekday respite” programming. Respite programs serving individuals with developmental disabilities have “overwhelmed” current space at the Frederick N. Richardson Center, the release stated.
