At Alfred State, students are supported by donors from across the country and championed by the very people who know them best. From professors in the
classroom to staff behind the scenes, Alfred State employees are deeply committed to the mission of transforming lives through education.
It’s no surprise that many also choose to give generously to the Pioneer Fund.
Whether it’s fueling innovation in the classroom, helping a student through a financial rough patch, or supporting programs that build community and
character, the Pioneer Fund empowers the entire Alfred State experience, and our faculty and staff are among its most faithful supporters.
“When faculty and staff give, it sends a powerful message. They already dedicate their careers to serving
students. The fact that so many also choose to donate shows just how much they believe in our mission.”John Lewis, Director of Annual Giving.
Today, some 200 current or former faculty and staff give annually to Alfred State. Among them, about 40 are members of the President’s Society, a distinguished group of donors who give $1,000 or more each year.
But their impact goes beyond numbers. These gifts reflect personal investment, deep trust, and a shared belief in Alfred State’s future. Most of all, their
actions set a powerful example for alumni, corporate partners, and friends of the college.
WE WANT TO THANK OUR FACULTY & STAFF FOR THEIR GENEROUS GIFTS.
During 2024-25, over $71,000 was donated by those that work (or have worked) for the College. Many give to the Pioneer Fund which allows Alfred State the flexibility to use their gifts for immediate needs or to be used collectively for the greatest impact.
Others who serve the college have made commitments that put them in the President’s Society. The President Society recognizes donors whose generosity,
$1,000 or more, demonstrates a deep belief in our mission and an investment in the future of our students.
