The NYSGA also added a new initiative in 2021, the Foundation Membership Program, which raises money from club members or individuals to fund scholarships for NYSGA member club employees. The purpose of the program is to support deserving students while also helping our club’s facilities attract and retain employees.
“I am very excited to promote our newest charitable initiative, the Foundation Membership Program. We believe it will help us reach our goal to grow the NYSGA Scholarship Fund not only in dollars but also in the number of recipients we are able to award,” said Kara Cushman, the NYSGA’s Foundation Manager. “We are hoping to get to a point where we raise enough money to support every eligible student who applies. This program will get us there.”
