Grayed Danes Lacross Collective - Albany Great Danes Collective

The mission of the Grayed Danes Lacrosse Collective is to support other community based organizations by empowering UAlbany student-athletes to monetize their name, image, and likeness. The GDLC is overseen by an alumni board of directors and its website says it is an “approved 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization operating as a private foundation.” The collective coordinates with other not-for-profit organizations in New York State to identify opportunities for UAlbany student-athletes to support their mission. “The Collective compensates our student-athlete for their work and advocacy at no expense to our community partners,” the website also states.
