Overview

Mission

The organization's mission is to raise funds and distribute them for scholarships and for programs that benefit the institution.

What it reported doing in 2025

The alumni association raises funds for student scholarships and other program activities. The association does not pay scholarships directly. The funds raised are transferred to the upstate foundation, inc. (a 501(c)(3) organization) who then distributes the scholarship funds, based upon determination of the university's financial aid office or by non-faculty review committee from the nursing alumni association board, and also for other programs which benefit suny upstate medical university's college of nursing.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 96% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
