Background & Mission
The Troy Savings Bank Charitable Foundation was established by The Troy Savings Bank at the time of its conversion to a public corporation in 1999. Following the merger of The Troy Savings Bank into First Niagara Financial Group, the Foundation will continue the proud charitable giving tradition of The Troy Savings Bank, with an emphasis on programs and initiatives that build stronger communities.

Funding Goals The Troy Savings Bank Charitable Foundation seeks to fund initiatives that will make positive and lasting changes in our communities. Of special interest to the Foundation are grantmaking opportunities that leverage grant effect through collaboration with other not-for-profit organizations, government agencies, and private funding sources. In short, the Foundation encourages grant applicants to form community partnerships that will create long lasting benefits and efficiencies.
