Funding

Reinvent Albany is funded by individuals and foundations who support our efforts to make New York State and New York City government more transparent and accountable to the public. We receive no funding from government, government officials, government vendors, trade groups, labor unions, lobbying firms or 501c4 groups. We encourage all of our donors to allow us to credit them on this page. However, some donors prefer to remain anonymous. (More organizational information is here.)


We thank our big and small donors from around the state who have shown their support from Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Long Island, New York City, Westchester, and even the Adirondacks.
