2021 Annual Report

We are forging ahead by bringing new ideas and people together in creative ways to continue addressing community challenges in our region, all thanks to your generosity. 2021 proved yet again that Western New Yorkers—and those who support our region from afar—are truly good neighbors who inspire us on a daily basis. After all, resiliency is in our nature.

Each year, our Annual Report gives us the opportunity to showcase just some of the year’s many highlights. Fortified by more than 100 years of experience and productive relationships, we will continue to work on your behalf to take Western New York to new heights.
