Investors Bank delivers $5K grant to YMCA

When the Investors Bank on Manhattan Avenue opened its doors over the summer, it promised it would be a community bank.

Well, it’s safe to say they’re delivering so far.

One of those community partners, the Greenpoint YMCA, recently received a $5,000 grant from Investors. The money will go toward the Y’s Rowe Scholars program.

“It’s going to go for scholarships, after school, swimming, karate classes, our summer camp program,” said Kendall Charter, executive director of the Greenpoint Y. “It’s tremendous, especially for young people with families that might need a particular program because of economic reasons. This gives them the opportunity because we’re not going to turn them away.
