Adirondack Foundation

Mission: Enhancing the lives of people in the Adirondacks through philanthropy for 25 years.

Vision: Against a backdrop of scenic beauty, our communities are strong, just and inclusive; family wellbeing is supported through quality healthcare, education, and economic opportunity; nature is valued and protected; and arts and culture thrive.

Our Promise: We listen. We stay current on local issues and create connections that make a difference. We celebrate the bright spots and help identify the gaps. Neighbor to neighbor engagement allows us to learn and to share our knowledge. Through our daily actions, we demonstrate our passions and our resolve that we are committed to the people of the Adirondacks today, tomorrow, and always.
