About Parent & Family Giving
The UAlbany Fund is an opportunity to invest in your child’s home away from home. Donations to the UAlbany Fund are used to enhance the quality of student life and support programs that directly benefit your child’s experience on campus.
Tuition, fees, and state assistance provide less than half the revenue needed to cover the University’s annual operating costs. That’s why donations from our parents & families are so important in making up that difference. Together, parent & family donors help us build a vibrant, supportive environment where students can excel academically, socially, and professionally. Every gift—no matter the size—creates opportunities and opens doors for Great Danes today and tomorrow.
Gifts to the UAlbany Fund support programs such as:
Where the Need is Greatest: Flexible support that allows us to respond quickly to emerging priorities and provide resources where they will have the most impact.
Student Life: Enrich campus life through clubs, activities, and programs that foster community, leadership, and lifelong friendships.
Career & Professional Development: Equip students with internships, mentoring, and career readiness programs that prepare them for success after graduation.
Purple Pantry: Ensure no student goes hungry by supporting our campus food pantry, a critical resource for those facing food insecurity.
And More: From scholarships to wellness initiatives, your gift strengthens every aspect of the UAlbany experience. We encourage you to give where your passion lies!
Your tax-deductible gift to the UAlbany Fund, no matter what the amount, provides the extra level of support that underlies an amazing UAlbany experience. You can make a gift online or over the phone toll-free at 518-442-3314 ex. 1.
