Create Lasting Change in the Adirondacks
When you make a donation to Adirondack Foundation, you're joining a force powered by collective generosity. Every gift that comes in our door helps to create good across the Adirondacks today, tomorrow, and well into the future. Every gift helps the Foundation fuel positive change through grants, partnerships, and capacity building initiatives to support nonprofits, schools, and communities – to change lives for the better toward a more prosperous future.
Whether you give to Generous Acts, the Foundation’s work to build nonprofit capacity, or one of our 260+ funds supporting education, arts and culture, the environment, and more – all of it helps us to grow our ability to strengthen our communities through philanthropy. Gifts of all amounts foster a culture of giving in the Adirondacks. Your support helps to make that happen.

I give unrestricted funds because the Foundation stays in touch with significant needs, emerging issues, and crisis areas. They know where the greatest needs are and how to have the most impact.
