Your collective generosity inspires our students to succeed. Your gift — of any size — provides immediate financial relief, clearing a pathway to success.

The SUNY Adirondack Foundation conducts an annual giving campaign for the SUNY Adirondack Fund throughout its fiscal year, from July 1 to June 30. The Fund provides resources for our students and the campus's critical needs. Contributions are tax-deductible and, unless otherwise designated, allocated to where the need is greatest.
