HELPING PEOPLE REALIZE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL

The UpMobility Foundation is a testament to the values perpetuated by the late William  “Bill” Babinec, who was the father of our founder, Martin Babinec. The son of Slovak immigrants, Bill worked tirelessly to support his wife and seven children. Despite his modest resources, Bill gave generously to the less fortunate as well as to organizations that promote family values. A lifelong resident of Little Falls, New York, Bill was active in his church in addition to being a member of an organization dedicated to community development, a role that he took on well into his 80s.

In 1999, following many years as a successful Silicon Valley entrepreneur, Martin Babinec relocated his family to Little Falls. Inspired by his father’s example, Martin has become a catalyst for economic development in Upstate New York and elsewhere. Additionally, Martin has also supported causes that promote self-reliance, education, humanitarian aid  and family values, among others. Martin was moved to establish the UpMobility Foundation as a way to cement his family’s commitment to the ideal that to whom much is given, much is expected.
