$150,000 in Grants from KeyBank Foundation

KeyBank is launching a special 1:1 employee matching gift program through KeyBank Foundation that will help amplify and raise the collective voice of teammates in support of Ukraine. As part of this program, KeyBank Foundation will prove a dollar-for-dollar match for all employees up to $5,000, for several organizations supporting humanitarian efforts in Ukraine, including Americares, CARE, Project Hope, Save the Children, and World Central Kitchen.

In a message announcing the grants and matching gift program to KeyBank teammates, Chris Gorman said:

“Over the past week, we have witnessed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with both shock and deep concern. The remarkable resilience of the Ukrainian people has been a source of inspiration for me and for the entire world. Together, we have a longstanding tradition of supporting communities near and far, especially in times like these.  This is one of the many reasons I am proud to be part of the Key team.”
