Multiply Your Impact at UAlbany

Limited time opportunity! Now through March 31, 2026, your gift to UAlbany’s endowment can go even further—thanks to the SUNY University Center Endowment Match Program.

Here’s how it works: 

  • For every $2 you give to UAlbany’s endowment, New York State adds $1—boosting your contribution by 50%. 
     
  • That means your support for student scholarships, faculty excellence, or whatever priority you care about will stretch farther. And because you’re investing in UAlbany’s endowment, your gift becomes a legacy that lasts for generations.
     
  • Eligible gifts:
    • Create a new endowed fund or add to your existing endowed fund.
    • Your gift or pledge of $10,000+: qualifies for state matching funds.
    • Your gift or pledge of $35,000+: you can direct the matching funds to your own endowed fund.
