We are excited to announce that M&T Bank has generously awarded the Corey C. Griffin Foundation (CCGF) a $10,000 grant to support our Emerging Leaders Council (ELC). This partnership reflects M&T Bank’s dedication to empowering Boston’s young professionals and aligns perfectly with the Foundation’s mission to foster bold futures for the next generation.

The Emerging Leaders Council is CCGF’s flagship program that equips young professionals with leadership, service, and engagement skills, while fostering a commitment to philanthropy. This grant will help us expand the program for the 2025 ELC cohort, enhancing initiatives, creating new opportunities for community impact, and hosting events that connect emerging leaders with meaningful causes in Boston.

“The generosity of M&T Bank allows us to deepen the impact of the Emerging Leaders Council and ensures we’re providing opportunities for young professionals in Boston to lead, engage, and serve,” said Chandra Clark, President of the Corey C. Griffin Foundation. “We are honored to partner with an organization that shares our commitment to building strong communities and investing in future leaders.”

Since its inception, the Emerging Leaders Council has fostered a network of dynamic, socially conscious individuals dedicated to giving back to our eight Boston-area program partners that support Boston-area children and families. ELC members are changemakers, inspiring and uplifting others through mentorship, skill-modeling, and collaboration. M&T Bank’s support will directly impact CCGF’s ability to create sustainable pathways for leadership in Boston.
