Annual Appeal
With your support, we are achieving significant milestones for Adirondack communities and landscapes, solving challenges as fundamental as food, water, shelter, broadband for our Adirondack families, and as consequential for our ecosystems as pollinator species decline, soil depletion, and road salt pollution.
If you love this region and want to do even more to help, please make a year-end donation to help us accomplish our goals together in 2024.

Get an extra tax break from appreciated stock. Giving appreciated stock or mutual funds to charity gives you an extra tax benefit: You can deduct the current value of the investment as a charitable contribution if you itemize, and you’ll avoid paying capital-gains taxes on the profits. (You’d owe capital-gains taxes if you sold the stock first and then wrote a check.) Here’s the information you’ll need to make a gift of stock to AdkAction.
If it’s a losing stock, it’s better to sell it first and give the cash. You’ll still be able to deduct your charitable donation if you itemize, but you’ll also be able to take a capital loss when you sell the investment.
Donors age 70 1⁄2 and older can make tax-free charitable gifts of up to $100,000 per year directly from an IRA to AdkAction or any qualified charity.
Here’s how it works: After the age of 70 1⁄2, taxpayers are required to take annual distributions from IRAs. Distributions are included in their adjusted gross income and subject to tax. However, if you make a gift directly to a charitable organization from your IRA, the amount of the gift is excluded from your adjusted gross income, but the distribution sill counts toward you required minimum distribution.
Live on by making a legacy gift.
Beneficiary Designations – Many people contribute to annual funds but also name a charity as a beneficiary of their IRA, life insurance policy, checking or savings account. No cost or professional services are involved. Only a signature is required. You can designate an amount or percentage as the gift, and you can name multiple charities as beneficiaries. Then, the designated amount in an account transfers directly to charity and minimizes or avoids taxation. By leaving gifts to charity, you often provide more to your heirs. You can join AdkAction’s Legacy Society when you let us know that you have chosen one of these options.
There are also other ways to give that allow you to be generous and provide for your family, including options that provide you income in retirement.

Testimonials
"AdkAction is, in my opinion, the most 'hands-on–get-it–done' charitable organization in the area. They go beyond identifying issues and feasibility studies and strategic plans. Their name – AdkAction – says it all. They roll up their sleeves and they do it. And that – more than anything else – is why I am a member."
"I support AdkAction because it is an organization that looks to the community for ideas / projects / programs that would never get funded elsewhere - even though they are critical to keeping the ADK an awesome place to live.
The Adirondack Pollinator Project made me believe that as an individual I can do something - make a difference - create good in my environment."
"I support AdkAction because they are an impact-driven organization that knows how to get things done. They focus on tangible projects that matter to me, and all residents of the Adirondacks, and their approach is nimble and efficient. With the Emergency Food Packages project, AdkAction saw a need with vulnerable families and quickly responded, leveraging their relationships with farmers and partner agencies."
"Supporting AdkAction is an easy way to make a difference. Groups that are providing solutions and going into action are exactly what we need in times like these! I participate in the Keesville and Tupper Lake plein air events. I consider myself lucky to meet the wonderful people from these communities and explore the beautiful surroundings."
"We are deeply impressed with AdkAction's energy and innovation in making this a better place. In a town without a supermarket, the Keeseville Farmacy has simultaneously provided a location for residents to purchase healthy fresh farm produce and groceries and an outlet for local farmers and purveyors to distribute their produce, while increasing awareness of the benefits of using local foods."
"AdkAction's mission to meet unmet needs allows for them to pivot and focus on areas that may be outside other nonprofit's wheelhouse. They have demonstrated tremendous success and progress meeting these needs, from food services to recreational activities."
"All around me there were projects being tackled by AdkAction, but I paid much closer attention to a couple of their pet projects after taking a Farm to Table class at Paul Smith's College. With the Emergency food packages provided during COVID-19, I love that AdkAction saw a need and mobilized quickly so as to make a real difference in many people's lives."
