Columbia-Greene Humane Society Receives $5,000 from National Bank of Coxsackie



Coxsackie, NY – [November 2025] – The National Bank of Coxsackie (NBC) is proud to announce its recent $5,000 donation to the Columbia-Greene Humane Society (CGHS). The funds were made possible through the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York’s (FHLBNY) Small Business Recovery Grant Program, which allows member banks like NBC to support local organizations making a meaningful difference in their communities.

 

The Columbia-Greene Humane Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection, humane treatment, and well-being of all animals. Through its sheltering services, adoption programs, and educational outreach, CGHS has provided care and compassion to countless animals in need throughout the region.

 

“On behalf of our board of directors, volunteers, staff, and of course our animals, I’d like to thank the National Bank of Coxsackie for their generous gift to our shelter,” said Ron Perez, President and CEO, Columbia-Greene Humane Society. “Support from civic-minded businesses such as the National Bank of Coxsackie helps us serve thousands of animals each year that are unwanted, hungry, lost and/or victims of cruelty. We are so very grateful for the Bank’s generosity to support our mission.”

 

“At NBC, we take great pride in supporting organizations that make our communities stronger and more compassionate,” said John Balli, President & CEO of the National Bank of Coxsackie. “The Columbia-Greene Humane Society plays a vital role in caring for animals and promoting responsible pet ownership, and we are honored to contribute to their ongoing efforts.”
