About the Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy
The Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization based in Albany, NY dedicated to advancing policies that strengthen New York families and improve child well-being, so all children statewide have a fair opportunity to thrive.
Founded by Louisa Lee Schuyler in 1872 as the State Charities Aid Association, with the goal to improve the well-being of people living in state institutions due to poverty, illness, and disability, Schuyler Center was renamed in its founder’s honor in 2000. For more than 150 years, the organization has led advocacy rooted in compassion, evidence, and belief in a government that works for the greater good. Schuyler Center’s work acknowledges the historic racism woven throughout shared systems, and advocates for public policies that seek to address inequities while improving health, welfare, and human services for all New Yorkers.
Schuyler Center achieves its reforms through creative and detail-conscious policy analysis, coalition-building, and advocacy to elected officials, agency executives, and stakeholders. Schuyler Center’s policy initiatives are determined by its citizen-led Board of Trustees in collaboration with senior policy staff, with priority emphasis given to combating poverty and helping children and families thrive.
