Mission Statement

Our goals are many, and our opportunities are limitless. The Non-Profit 501-C “BonaGany, Inc.” was created to help foster a positive relationship between Saint Bonaventure University, its students, and The Village/Town of Allegany. We believe Allegany and SBU benefit from their shared existence and prosperity.
Our Student Interns apply classroom learning to real-world work experiences that support SBU’s values of compassion, wisdom, and integrity. Local non-profits provide us an opportunity to give back to our community and foster positive relationships between Saint Bonaventure University, students, and community members. As stated, our opportunities are limitless, and here are some of them:
• Create sought-after rewarding internship opportunities. Student Interns play an active role in all aspects of BonaGany.• Offering community service projects for the Students of SBU to participate in. These service projects allow students and community members an opportunity to work side by side with each other. • Student Interns market, organize, oversee, and then advertise our various community service projects and community special events. • Student Interns will have opportunities to provide services for other non-profits. For example, Website Development, Marketing, Communications, and Advertising. • Adjudicate complaints between stakeholders. SBU’s Code of Conduct will be used as a guide for student violations and business “best practices” for their property managers/landlords. In most cases the punitive action would result in community service hours for tenant’s and tenant monetary reimbursements by property managers and or Landlords. • Student Interns oversee our Feral Cat Catch, Vaccinate, Neuter, and Release program in the Village.• Student Interns are encouraged to create their own Intern initiated projects. As part of the interview process, BonaGany seeks out Intern driven ideas that could advance BonaGany’s mission. • Financially support other local non-profits who promote causes that benefit our shared SBU/Allegany community. Please visit our Business Plan below to learn more about our many goals and limitless opportunities.
