Ways to give

Please make checks payable to Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ Foundation and mail to Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ Foundation, 640 Bay Road, Queensbury, NY 12804.

The Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ Fund ensures student access through scholarship support, funding initiatives related to teaching and learning environments, and ensuring crucial funding for college strategic priorities.

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

The Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ Foundation conducts an annual giving campaign for the Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ Fund throughout its fiscal year, from July 1 to June 30.
