Funding

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

DONATE and Help Win More Accountable, Transparent New York Government!


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.
