50th Anniversary Campaign

50More

We have big plans for the next 50 years

For over 50 years, Open Door has been a trusted lifeline for low-income children, youth, and families, providing compassionate, high-quality care when and where it’s needed most.

Today, we are reaching higher. Our vision is to be a national model for innovative, comprehensive, and personalized community health, meeting people where they are and helping them thrive.

Support the future of health care in our backyard

The 50 More Campaign is a transformative effort to sustain our vital programs, renovate patient-centered spaces, expand access, and enrich care. Through this effort we will ensure Open Door has the resources necessary to strengthen our patient services and innovate to meet patients’ needs today and for years to come.

“When I think about the future of our community, I think about healthy children, supported families, and accessible care. Open Door is laying that foundation every day. My support is an investment in a healthier community, and I’m proud to stand with them in that work, today more than ever. As Open Door navigates unprecedented challenges due to shifts in government funding, I know donor support matters.”
—Marguerite Pitts, Longtime Open Door Supporter

Campaign Priorities

Through the 50 More Campaign, we are seeking $8 million in philanthropic support to address our most urgent areas of need:

Capital improvements to our Ossining Health Campus

Due to an incredible increase in patients and staff, we require additional space and modernized facilities in this key Northern Westchester location. This campus will allow us to refine the team-based model and wrap-around services that define Open Door’s care across all our locations.

Sustain our vital comprehensive services

We will sustain the primary medical care and wrap-around services that take place across our locations, many of which are not currently or only partially covered by government funding and third-party reimbursements.
