Upstate Foundation Funds

The Upstate Foundation manages more than 1,200 funds. These funds support Upstate students, patients and families, and faculty and staff with fund purposes that encompass education, research, technology, staff development and recognition, and unmet patient needs. 

You can designate a gift to an Upstate Foundation fund(s) by payroll deduction through the annual Power of Us, employee giving campaign (donations direct to the Upstate Foundation), or through Upstate Community Giving Campaign (United Way). This vehicle is use to support an Upstate purpose or project that is meaningful to you. Hamilton White and Elizabeth Blackwell donors may also designate gifts to an Upstate fund. If choosing an Upstate Foundation fund for the Upstate Community Giving Campaign, be sure to add 613 in front of the fund number. 613 is Upstate Medical University’s designated prefix.
