Frequent Questions
Are donations to the Alfred State College Development Fund tax-deductible?
Yes, the Alfred State College Development Fund is a federally-recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Gifts to the College are therefore tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
What about smaller gifts? I can't afford much, but I want to make a difference.
Every gift does make a difference. Through the Annual Fund, even relatively small gifts can have a major impact. Just $25 can purchase a new library book or slides and Petri dishes for a chemistry lab. A $100 gift can help a student with needed books or tools. And when combined with hundreds or even thousands of other "small" gifts, the College can hire new faculty members, offer merit scholarships, or meet a host of other critical, ongoing needs.
Why does a public college need my support?
Like most other public universities, Alfred State College receives just a fraction of its revenues directly from state government. Federal and state dollars are sometimes allocated to specific projects or infrastructure needs. Tuition, which has failed to keep pace with inflation over the past decade, accounts for a small percentage of College revenues.
Alfred State College must rely on private donors to support the rest - everything from scholarships to faculty hiring and retention to equipment for classrooms and laboratories. When new buildings are built, state funds pay for the actual cost of construction - but not for the furnishings needed to bring those spaces to life. Gifts and endowments also enable a college to weather the inevitable "lean years," when budget cuts and competing priorities result in greater challenges for public institutions.
