Become a Donor

If you believe in the children and families of Syracuse and you want to help make our schools, city, and region stronger, smarter, and prepared to meet the needs of the future, please offer your support. We value your time, monetary investment, and/or resources tremendously; your donation and support makes an important difference in the lives of many.

The Say Yes Scholarship Endowment Fund and the Say Yes STEM Scholarship Endowment Fund are housed at the Central New York Community Foundation to ensure that the promise of education continues for Syracuse City School students into perpetuity.

SRC, Inc., a local research and development company based in Central New York, saw the promise of Say Yes to Education and its potential impact on the region. In January of 2011, SRC challenged the community to join them in supporting the campaign to permanently endow the Say Yes scholarships. Contributions and pledges, including multi-year gifts, to the Say Yes Endowment Funds, were matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $5,000,000, by SRC, Inc. This goal was achieved early in 2016. 

All of Say Yes’ partners call upon the public to help the program reach its fullest potential by contributing to the Say Yes Endowment Funds.

We would be grateful for your contributions to Say Yes Scholarship Endowment Fund (ensures that the promise of education continues for Syracuse City School District (SCSD) students into perpetuity) or Say Yes STEM Scholarship Endowment Fund (supports SCSD students pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering and math).
