That’s according to the bank and organizers of the Mohawk Valley COVID-19 Response Fund and the Central New York COVID-19 Community Support Fund.
The charitable investments will “bolster” the two regional funds, which were launched to address the local impact of the global outbreak. Both funds are designed to “rapidly deploy resources” to nonprofit organizations that are addressing human-services needs in communities “significantly” impacted by the pandemic.
The regional organizations overseeing the funds are encouraging community members with the ability to give to consider making a donation online. To help in the Mohawk Valley, visit mvcovidfund.com. To help in Central New York, visit cnycf.org/covid19.
“When we launched the M&T Bank/Partners Trust Charitable Fund, we envisioned it being there to help our community quickly respond to moments of great need,” David Manzelmann, M&T Bank Utica market president, said. “Never could we foresee the public health crisis we’re experiencing now, but we’re grateful this funding is available to help our neighbors in need.”

“This unprecedented public-health crisis has changed the way we live and work — but it won’t change our commitment to supporting our communities,” Allen Naples, M&T Bank regional president for Central New York, said. “Across our company, M&T Bank has mobilized our teams to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. We continue to take steps to help our customers and communities get through these difficult times. This investment in local relief efforts is an important component of M&T’s ongoing response.”
