GIVING TO CAYUGA

Making a charitable gift to the College is an important and very personal decision. Your generosity is an investment in the community and in the lives of the individuals who benefit each and every day from Cayuga’s excellent education, training, and services.

If your gift will be made by check, please make your check payable to Cayuga County Community College Foundation and mail it to:

The Cayuga County Community College Foundation
197 Franklin Street
Auburn, New York 13021

Make a Secure Gift

Make an online donation to the Cayuga County Community College Foundation.

We also accept gifts of property, trusts, bequests and many other types of gifts which could offer both the donor and the College tremendous benefits. If you have any questions, please contact Guy T. Cosentino, Executive Director to discuss possibilities which may be appropriate to your situation.

We welcome unrestricted gifts. An unrestricted gift allows the Foundation discretion in meeting unplanned needs for the College and also supports special projects for both the Foundation and the Alumni Affairs offices.

The Foundation currently manages nearly 150 funds which support and enrich specific opportunities for Cayuga students and faculty. These funds provide scholarships and grants for students; funds for faculty development, cultural enrichment and instructional equipment; and enhance program budgets for the library, day care and athletic departments.
