Amy Button and Alyssa Belasco are serial volunteers, budding philanthropists, and the founders of Flower City Philanthropy. Their hope is to start a Charitable Revolution in Rochester by sharing meaningful volunteer opportunities, charitable events, and non-profit connections. By sharing their story and those of charitable organizations around the city, they hope to light a philanthropic spark in the hearts of everyone living in the greater Rochester area, and beyond.

The mission of Flower City Philanthropy is to close the gap between intention and action by inspiring people in the Rochester area to think and act charitably every day. By providing people with the information and resources they need to connect with local non-profit organizations, key people, volunteer opportunities, and events, FCP hopes to start a #CharitableRevolution.
