Upstate Legacy Society
The Upstate Legacy Society is comprised of donors who care about Upstate Medical University and our surrounding community, who have left a gift from their will or from other estate assets to support a fund, program or service that is meaningful to them and close to their heart. For each individual or family, it is all about making an impact on the future and is a statement about the values important to them.

Life and Legacy
Legacy gifts come in all sizes and from a wide range of vehicles. While leaving a gift from your will is still one of the most popular options, gifts are also given from retirement accounts, IRAs, life insurance, charitable trusts, donor-advised funds, charitable gift annuities, bank accounts and trusts. If you have been supporting a fund or endowment at Upstate, or would like to open a fund, consider a legacy gift to support what has been meaningful to you during your lifetime.
