Sponsorship (Corporate and Individual)
HAF has a calendar full of events and programs that can be sponsored including our 50th Anniversary Gala in May and Built, our annual art auction taking place in November. In addition, we have a full slate of tours, programs and lectures that round out the year’s offerings. For more information, please see our 2024 Sponsorship Package or visit our sponsorship page.
Annual Fund
Each year HAF raises unrestricted funds to support our general operations – literally keeping the lights on. These unrestricted funds are used to help our dedicated staff carry out our mission on a daily basis. To make an unrestricted donation, please visit our donation page.
Endowment
As in most organizations, HAF’s endowment fund, administered by the Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region, is to ensure a healthy and vibrant future for the organization, and ours is no exception. The funds grow annually and the interest is reinvested for future use. The endowment funds can accept both gifts of cash and stock. If interested in the endowment fund as a giving option, please contact our Executive Director, Pamela Howard at 518-465-0876 or phoward@historic-alabany.org.
Planned Giving
Just as with our endowment funds, Historic Albany Foundation has created the Marcus T. Reynolds Society for Planned Giving to ensure a legacy of financial health for the future of the organization. If you would like to discuss including Historic Albany Foundation in your estate planning, please contact our Executive Director, Pamela Howard at 518-465-0876 or phoward@historic-alabany.org.
