The Osborn Foundation's Purpose

The Osborn Foundation is the charitable arm of The Osborn. It was founded in 2015 so that residents, families, friends and other donors could support programs and projects that improve the lives of those at The Osborn, the greater Rye Community and beyond. Donations can be directed towards our Charity Care program for those residents who outlive their resources, Employee Enrichment programs, Academic scholarships, the Arboretum Conservation program or as a general unrestricted gift for the areas of greatest need. 

About Miriam Osborn

The Osborn was founded by philanthropist Miriam Osborn. Widowed as a young woman, she wanted to create a place where her aging friends and neighbors could live comfortably - even if they outlived their resources. Over a century later, caring for those in our community remains central to our mission.

Today, Miriam Osborn’s initial vision has evolved to provide nearly 400 residents options for living at The Osborn through Independent Living homes and apartments, Assisted Living apartments, Pavilion Skilled Nursing care and The H.O.P.E. Center for Memory Care, as well as home health care services to residents of Westchester and Fairfield Counties.
