About the Founders

The Morris Family Advised Fund was founded by Robert S. “Rob” Morris (a Central New York native and longtime philanthropist) and his wife Mary Helen (a native of Albany). After building a distinguished career in business and investment, Rob — with Mary Helen at his side — has returned to his roots with a renewed focus on giving back to the region that shaped him.
