Who We Are

How it all began…

Central New York is fortunate to have many charities doing wonderful work for children. But in 2004, Nina Albino & Kathleen Miller-Murphy saw a need for something more. They founded Charity for Children as a way to provide financial and educational support to local children with diseases, disabilities and disorders who may have otherwise “fallen through the cracks.”

 

The idea was to help not just the affected children, but entire families who must cope with daily challenges. With its localized focus, Charity for Children is able to simplify many of the strict administrative processes of national charities, and make it as easy as possible for families to get help. The organization taps into the strong charitable spirit of Central New York businesses and individuals, channels feelings into actions, and makes a difference in many lives.
