The SUNY Sullivan Foundation is pleased to announce it has received a $5,000 grant from Jeff Bank, made possible through the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY), to support working capital expenses.

“The Foundation is grateful to have Jeff Bank’s support,” said Jose Herrera, Foundation Chair. “These funds will certainly enhance the Foundation’s efforts to rally private support for SUNY Sullivan’s programs in the future.”

“Jeff Bank is pleased to participate in the FHLBNY’s 2024 Small Business Recovery Grant (SBRG) Program,” said George W. Kinne, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Bank. “Many very worthy local businesses and non-profits have benefitted from distribution of grant funding obtained through this unique program. We’re pleased to be able to support the SUNY Sullivan Foundation which assists many students and families with scholarships to attend SUNY Sullivan.” 

“We are grateful to our longtime community partner, Jeff Bank, and past Foundation Board member Jeff Bank President/CEO George Kinne. This grant, obtained through the Federal Home Loan Bank of NY, is deeply appreciated. Jeff Bank and George Kinne are tremendous supporters of SUNY Sullivan and many other nonprofits in our community,” said SUNY Sullivan President Dr. David Potash.

Jeff Bank has successfully secured SBRG funding to assist local non-profits as they navigate economic challenges, including rising interest rates, inflation, supply chain disruptions, and increasing energy costs.
