Mr. Puorro stated “These organizations are the very heartbeat of the communities we serve, and we are thrilled that this money will help them in fulfilling their mission. We are simultaneously so grateful to the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and their Small Business Recovery Grant Program for providing these much-needed funds to so many not-for-profit entities that have been adversely affected by the current economic environment.”

This program supports the financial security of qualifying organizations that face economic challenges due to the rate environment, inflation, supply-chain constraints, and/or rising energy costs by partnering with members to provide grants.

Hanover Bank has participated in this FHLBNY program in the past and we are so grateful to be partnering with them once again to provide these truly needed funds to seventeen worthwhile entities. “We are so proud to support these incredible organizations not only through this grant program but by having many of our team members give their time, talent and energy to these worthy causes,” concluded Michael P.
