Our Board + Community Council

We're led by a group of compassionate problem-solvers from around the Adirondack region with varied backgrounds, skill sets, and stories. One thing they have in common? They care deeply about this place and the people in it.

Governance and Leadership

Adirondack Community Foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees with a wide variety of skills and experiences and who are known for their integrity, judgment, and regional knowledge. Trustees are elected to staggered three-year terms in order to ensure a continuous flow of new ideas and to promote public accountability.

The most valuable money is giving unrestricted because it can meet the need at the moment where it does the most good. There’s no better way to give if you trust the entity.
