Building community, sustaining the region....forever

Sherman Library story time
Anyone can contribute to improving the quality of life in the Adirondack region and beyond through ACT. You don't need to establish your own fund. Here are some ideas: 

  • Give to a fund that helps people and nonprofits in emergencies, through the Special and Urgent Needs Fund.
  • Make an unrestricted gift, leaving it to ACT to identify needs and use your gift to help make grants in the Adirondack region.
  • Support ACT's operations, through the Chairman's Fund. A gift like this makes it possible for us to carry out our charitable mission.
  • Help Adirondack students go to college by making a gift toward scholarships, through the Crary Education Fund at ACT.
  • Add to an existing fund at ACT. Every fund here is open to donations. You can contribute to one that gives to something you care about. Contact us if you have questions.
