The Kimberly and John Mezzalingua Family Foundation
Building strong communities by strengthening families.
The Kimberly and John Mezzalingua Family Foundation was established in 2013 by Kim and John Mezzalingua, who have for more than 15 years supported institutions in education, children’s health, faith, and Central New York community life.
To date, more than $58 million has been dedicated to programs, institutions, and people across this community. The giving is concentrated in a small number of causes this family feels strongly about, built into long-term partnerships around specific programs with the potential for lasting impact. The Foundation does not accept unsolicited applications.
