Annual Fund
Your gift matters - every gift makes a difference. Scholarships and technology are the number one priority for the college. Your participation is so important. No matter what amount, your gift will change lives. Through the Alfred State Annual Fund, you can restrict your gift to the scholarship, club sport, etc. of your choice. Or you can allocate your gift for general unrestricted support, where it will be used for critical needs such as scholarships and technology. Every dollar raised ultimately bolsters the solid foundation of academic excellence and success that the college is known for. Support our most precious resource - our students!

Athletics
Join the Pioneer Athletics Corporate Partner Program
Pioneer Athletics completed the exciting journey to NCAA Division III in the 2017-2018 academic year. The college sponsors 15 intercollegiate athletic teams that not only compete in the NCAA, but also in the ACAA, AMCC, ECFC, and the ECAC.
With your sponsorship, you will receive advertising and promotional benefits, such as visibility at athletic events, public address announcements, signage, and athletic event tickets just to name a few.
The future is now! Join us to become a part of the amazing things happening in pioneer athletics. We're excited to announce an ox as our new animal mascot. A symbol of the hard-working attitude of our students and campus community, the ox is a loyal friend of the pioneer and will enhance an already strong connection that Alfred State College has with the pioneer's nickname. The new look will help accelerate the momentum we have in gaining the official NCAA Division III status, securing multi-sports conference home in the AMMC, and moving us forward as a national program.
"You can expect a pioneer football program that is going to compete in everything we do, from on the field, to in the classroom, and helping in our community," says Scott Linn, the new executive head football coach for the Pioneers.

Pioneer Parent Fund
We are grateful that our students chose Alfred State. Our students receive an exceptional academic experience. However, their experience and life-long lessons can go from exceptional to life-changing with the help of the Alfred State Pioneer Parent Fund.
What do gifts to the Pioneer Parent Fund support?
National Competitions
The parent fund provides support for students, classes, and organizations interested in participating in national competitions such as the Baja SAE competition, Basic Utility Vehicle (BUV), robotics, Fireball Run, culinary arts, construction, and more. It is all hands-on, and our students learn to be innovative, be creative, and apply skills readily so that they can “Hit the Ground Running!”
Civic Engagement and Student Leadership Programs
The parent fund directly supports new student-led initiatives that help provide our students with the civic and leadership skills they need to continue our college’s commitment to making the world a better place by helping save newborn babies in Honduras, hosting Veteran's Appreciation Day to thank our veterans, or participating in the Celebrate Allegany Day of Service.
These incredible opportunities help our students become professional, responsible, and caring adults we're proud to call Alfred State alumni.
Learn more about civic engagement.
