Endowment
Traditional Arts in Upstate New York (TAUNY) accepts a campaign for a dollar-for-dollar award match from the Northern New York Community Foundation (NNYCF) up to $10,000 which kicks off a new TAUNY Endowment Fund. In an effort to secure a more sustainable future for Traditional Arts in Upstate New York (TAUNY), the non-profit traditional arts and culture organization is proud to partner with the Northern New York Community Foundation (NNYCF) on a new TAUNY Endowment Fund. The fund launches with a dollar-for-dollar matching donation, and the TAUNY appeals to friends of the organization to support the endeavor and reach the full goal of the campaign by December 31st, 2026.
The central part of the endowment is a general fund which will maintain a balance in perpetuity, a small percentage of which will go toward programming and operations at TAUNY each year. The support of donors to this campaign will ensure that the legacy of traditional arts and cultural programming in arts in education, exhibitions, and public programs (concerts, dances, public art) is maintained more sustainably into the future.
A tax-deductible gift will instantly double with this generous match and help grow the endowment over the years. This will ensure lasting support for our arts in education & public programs (concerts, dances, storytelling), exhibitions, and the over 150 artisans featured in our Folkstore.
We thank you for helping to support this opportunity to further the legacy of TAUNY’s almost forty-year service to the North Country regionÂ
Contributions to this unique endowment opportunity can be made in multiple ways:
Bequests (securities, property, wills) as part of your estate giving, as well as cash gifts.
