Colgate founded the Upstate Institute in 2003. The institute was created to connect the Colgate community to its surrounding region, as well as to give back and help economically and socially sustain the area. Currently, they do research on counties in the area, as well as support outreach and volunteer organizations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://upstate.colgate.edu/ui-about.html |title=About Upstate |publisher=Upstate Institute |access-date=2009-07-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090130050247/http://upstate.colgate.edu/ui-about.html |archive-date=January 30, 2009 }}</ref>
