SUNY Upstate Medical University receives only less than one-fifth of its annual budget from the state; which is not sufficient to satisfy the needs of the university. As a result, the university is extremely dependent on other means of support ranging from donors and grateful patients, to devoted volunteers, loyal employees, active board members, and others.
That is the reason why YOU are so important to the university and the community we serve. YOU can touch the lives of so many through your support.
