In 2023, the KeyBank Foundation allocated a total of $1,120,000 towards various non-profit organizations in the Capital Region. The purpose behind these grants is to bolster workforce development and community initiatives, aligning with KeyBank's broader commitment to invest $40 billion in the communities it serves, with a focus on promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Fran O’Rourke, the KeyBank Capital Region Market President, emphasized the institution's dedication to community well-being. O’Rourke stated, “KeyBank’s mission is to foster thriving communities. Through these financial contributions, we aim to uplift and reinforce initiatives that enhance the strength of our neighborhoods. Each of these organizations plays a significant role in making Albany and the Capital Region a vibrant place to reside. KeyBank has a longstanding tradition of supporting this community, and we are privileged to contribute to the ongoing impactful work of these non-profits.”
Within this overall funding, specific allocations include $400,000 to aid Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region in expanding their efforts related to food justice and family equity. Additionally, $200,000 was directed towards supporting capacity-building initiatives at the Albany Black Chamber of Commerce, an organization facilitating economic development by providing a centralized hub of resources, networking, and workshops to advance and empower Black and minority-owned businesses.
Several other organizations also received funding, such as the Affordable Housing Partnership, Albany Can Code, Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Albany Housing Coalition, Albany Medical Center, Bethesda House of Schenectady, Capital District Women’s Employment Resource Center, Center for Disability Services, Columbia County Recovery Kitchen, Community Caregivers, Community Empowerment Network, The Cohoes Connect Project, Franklin Community Center, Girls Inc., Glens Falls Area Youth Center, Homeless and Travelers Aid Society, Joseph’s House Shelter, Living Resources, Mission Accomplished Transition Services, Our Ability Alliance, The RED Bookshelf, Unity House of Troy, Williams-Francisco Initiative, Women’s Employment Resource Center, and YMCA of the Capital District.
