Melissa Lennon Speaking

The Greater Mohawk Valley has momentum. The Greater Utica Chamber Foundation gives us another way to build on it.

As the charitable arm of the Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce, the Foundation expands our ability to pursue philanthropic investment, larger grant opportunities, corporate support, and collaborative funding for mission-driven initiatives throughout the region.

That means more resources to develop talent, expand opportunity, strengthen communities, and bring partners together around ideas that can make a lasting difference.

More resources. More collaboration. More opportunity.
