Gifford Foundation names Dirk Sonneborne its new Executive Director
Dirk Sonneborn, a certified public accountant who used to operate a regional venture capital fund, has been named executive director of the Gifford Foundation.
Sonneborn will replace Kathryn Goldfarb-Findling who is retiring at the end of this year.
Gifford is a private charitable foundation that has been supporting community needs in Central New York since 1954. Last year it had $20.3 million in assets and awarded $1.18 million in grants.
Sonneborn, 56, grew up in Albany, attended Utica College and moved to Syracuse in 1976 to work for an accounting firm. From 1993 to 2004, he was managing partner of Exponential Business Development, a venture capital company that helped nurture new businesses in Central New York.
Sonneborn said he became interested in the world of philanthropy while serving on the board of the Central New York Community Foundation. While attending a national conference by the Council on Foundations “ . . . I got bit by this bug,” he said. “I could see this cooperative spirit with which people gave money. There were a lot of similarities in the venture capital world.”

MEET THE CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR OF SYRACUSE
Join the discussion with mayoral candidates focusing on
“HOW DO WE BUILD A SUSTAINABLE, LIVABLE SYRACUSE THROUGH CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT AND PLANNING?”
Wednesday, June 17
6:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.: refreshments
6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.: program
SUNY Oswego Metro Center
Corner of N. Salina and W. Washington Streets
EVERYONE IS WELCOME
CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR – all agreed to attend:
Alfonso Davis, Carmen Harlow, Otis Jennings, Steven Kimatian, Stephanie Miner, Joe Nicoletti
Candidates will be asked to respond briefly to the following three questions, followed by an open forum.
QUESTIONS:
1) A key contributor to making a city sustainable and livable is good urban design and planning. As mayor, what principles and policies will you use to ensure that the city of Syracuse will safeguard and strengthen the elements of good urban design it already has, add more wherever possible and make Syracuse the national model for sustainability?
2) Numerous documents containing plans for sustainable development of all or parts of our city, created by citizen groups or consultants, already exist at City Hall. James Street Overlay District Guidelines and a proposal for a Director of Sustainability are examples. What will you do to recover, implement, and, most of all, enforce, what is still valuable in these documents?
3) Considering any future planning for a sustainable and livable city that might occur during your administration, how will you ensure that Syracuse residents will have ample opportunity to contribute, and that their opportunity to react and give input continues as those plans are carried out and enforced?
