Adirondack Foundation

We Help You Give Back to the Adirondacks Love for the Adirondack region runs deep – and when your heart is captured, it forges a deep connection that can span time, family generations, and distance. It’s because of this love that we are fortunate to live, work, and play in this place, one of the most unique on the planet. It’s this very love that has fostered a spirit of generosity that has become one of the defining characteristics of the Adirondacks. That generosity was the driving force behind Adirondack Community Foundation’s creation in 1997, when we began building charitable assets to strengthen Adirondack communities. Since then, we’ve worked with thousands of generous individuals, families, businesses, and organizations to channel philanthropy into our communities and ensure everyone who loves this place can thrive in it. Like the Mountains, We Rise Like the mountains, we rise. Like the rivers and lakes, we come together. Since the start of the pandemic, we've granted over $2 million to support the people and places of the Adirondacks. We'll continue to be here for our communities long after the pandemic passes. As your community foundation, we are here for good.
