Student gifts support the Fund for New Paltz and the work of the SUNY New Paltz Foundation. Gifts ensure access to Foundation scholarships that total over $1.2M every year.

The Fund for New Paltz also supports the Orange & Blue Network, chances to connect with alumni, opportunities to learn from subject matter experts and gain real-life work experience, and the ability to attend events and activities across campus for free



We are an especially remarkable community because of our mutual desire to make an impact.
Brynn McClelland ’25 (Environmental Studies)
The strongest sentiment is my profound gratitude for the experiences and opportunities afforded to me by individuals such as you, who have committed themselves to shaping our collective future. Your contribution is more than a gift; it is an investment in the boundless potential of our New Paltz students.
Gaby Gomez ’25 (Journalism; Latin American & Caribbean Studies)
I donated to the Senior Gift because I knew that my small contribution would make a huge impact on the community that gave me so much.
Kevin Burns '19 (Communication Studies)
SUNY New Paltz gave me the opportunity to travel abroad and see the world. I give back because I want to make this possible for future students. It changed my outlook on life and opened my eyes to things I never thought possible.
