NYSOEA funds various scholarships through fund-raising. The Annual Appeal is early in the year, wrapping up on Earth Day, and the money raised goes into the Endowment Fund. Once the Endowment reaches $100,000, it will be used to fund NYSOEA initiatives in perpetuity. Funds are also raised at events throughout the year, including Winter Weekend (raffle), the Fresh Air Fund's Sharpe Reservation Maple Celebration (waffle sales), and the Annual Conference (live auction and silent auction).
