Funds are pooled for investment and grants are made annually according to donors’ wishes.
ACT currently manages 200 different endowed and pass-through funds with assets of $23 million dollars, and has made grants in excel of $10 million to benefit the Adirondack region and beyond.
The Adirondack Museum, accredited by the American Association of Museums, tells stories of the people — past and present — who have lived, worked, and played in the unique place that is the Adirondack Park. History is in our nature.
