Berkshire Bank Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Boston–based Berkshire Bank, says it contributed more than $400,000 in communities in five states through grants and other giving in the first quarter of the year.
Several Central New York not-for-profit organizations — including the McMahon-Ryan Child Advocacy Center, SUNY Polytechnic Institute Foundation, and Waterville Food Pantry — were among the 118 organizations in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont that the foundation offered funding from January to March
“Today more than ever, local nonprofits need our support to provide much needed assistance to those in need in our local communities,” Berkshire Bank Foundation Managing Director Lori Kiely said in a recent announcement. “Working together, we’re seeing the positive results of these nonprofits’ work in the lives of our neighbors and local economies.”
Berkshire Bank Foundation says it contributes to programs that aim to provide everyone with an equal opportunity at economic prosperity.
