From a transitional housing program for the homeless in St. Albans and a summer concert series in Barre, to a women’s film festival in Brattleboro and a youth mentoring program in Rutland, KeyBank provided grants and sponsorships totaling $300,000 to 130 Vermont organizations in 2010.
Funds from the KeyBank Foundation supported programs helping Vermonters achieve economic self-sufficiency, including a job skills program offered by Milton Family Community Center, a computer literacy program for non-native English speakers at Burlington’s Fletcher Free Library, and a literacy volunteer training program at Central Vermont Adult Basic Education.
KeyBank also sponsored community events such as the KeyBank Vermont City Marathon, Key4Women Forum, Vermont Maple Festival, Vermont History Expo and Strolling of the Heifers.
In addition to providing financial support, KeyBank encourages and supports employee volunteerism. KeyBankers serve on boards and volunteer committees for more than 60 Vermont organizations.
