Facilities Gifts
Since 1889 NYMA has grown from an abandoned wooden hotel on thirty acres of ground to a sprawling campus of the most beautiful countryside in the world. Pictured here is a wall of Jones Barracks going up in 1910, named in honor of our second Superintendent Col. Sebastian Jones. NYMA’s Academic Building dates back just as long, with it’s chapel dating to 1927. Constant up-keep is necessary and essential to keep NYMA’s traditions alive as the future continues to unfold “through these portals.”
Endowment Gifts
As opposed to annual gifts, which cover yearly operating expenses, endowed funds provide long-term income to assist with all of NYMA’s needs. Because only the income from the principal — not the principal itself – is spent, endowed funds provide money for NYMA in perpetuity. Endowed funds can be established for a specified purpose, or as unrestricted funds to meet the greatest needs of the school. For more on stewardship and establishing an endowed fund call NYMA at (845)534-3710, ext. 4227.

The Best Experience Ever
Our hearts stand at attention remembering our days at NYMA
"At NYMA we learned duty."
Behind the name of the Academy there lie those more intangible assets of rich tradition, high prestige and unfailing loyalty, which are the should of any institution. There is an esprit de corps which, instilled into the youngest cadet soon after their arrival at Cornwall, pervades the ranks of the cadet battalion and the thousands of alumni in all parts of the world.
