The Fund also obtains revenue from a small percentage of Video Lottery Terminal (VLT) monies from the Resorts World Casino NY at Aqueduct, and from VLTs at Finger Lakes Race Track.[3]

The fund has 10 members on its board of directors.[3] In 2017, it had operating expenses of $19.5 million and a staff of 7 people.[4] Former news broadcaster in the capital region, Tracy Egan, is the fund's Executive Director.[5]
