Message from the Chair of the 1889 Society
Our members are champions of students, empowering them to fully experience a SUNY Oneonta education. Honoring the year in which SUNY Oneonta was founded, the 1889 Society is a circle of loyal and generous donors whose charitable giving demonstrates exceptional commitment to our campus community.
Today we invite you to join the 1889 Society, and help give current students the same opportunities you enjoyed during your time at Oneonta.
-Andrea Casper '75
Join the 1889 Society Today!
The 1889 Society is an annual giving society with members making donations of at least $1000 per year. Membership options are also available for monthly payments to spread your giving out over time. SUNY Oneonta employees are able to donate directly through payroll deduction.
Membership is tied to the fiscal year and requires renewal on an annual basis to ensure sustained commitment and ongoing support of SUNY Oneonta. SUNY Oneonta’s fiscal year is from July 1 through June 30.
Make Your Gift Today
You can make a one-time gift or set up monthly payments to spread your giving out over time.
Tiered Memberships for Recent Graduates
While the entry point into the 1889 Society is generally a gift of $1,000 or more, recent graduates can earn membership into the 1889 Society at a reduced rate. Tiered membership is offered for graduates who received their first Oneonta degree within the past 15 years, as the expenses of student loans or the start of a career should not be a barrier to membership in the 1889 Society.
Tiered access allows us to celebrate annual donors at various giving levels and abilities, promoting a culture of giving back that will help sustain SUNY Oneonta for generations. Tiered membership levels for recent graduates are as follows:
- Graduates from the classes of 2020-2024: $100 or $8.34 per month
- Graduates from the classes of 2015-2019: $250 or $20.84 per month
- Graduates from the classes of 2010-2014: $500 or $41.67 per month
Corporate Matching Gifts Count Toward Membership
Did you know that many employers offer matching gift programs where they'll match their employees' charitable donations dollar-for-dollar, sometimes even more? These matching gifts can help you become a member of the 1889 Society!
$1,000 Individual Gift = 1889 Society Membership
OR
$500 Gift + $500 Matching Gift = 1889 Society Membership
