Canandaigua National Bank & Trust (CNB) announced 2022 set a record for contributions in the company’s 136 history. CNB’s $500,000 dollar for dollar match of all new and increased donations to United Way of Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes’ Community Impact Fund supported efforts that culminated in an impressive $17.9 million annual campaign. Combined with additional United Way grants and initiatives, a grand total of $35.8 million was raised.

“Giving back to our community is who we are and who we have always been” said Frank Hamlin, President, and CEO of Canandaigua National Bank & Trust “we are honored to be a part of United Way serving the communities where our bank customers and employees live, work, and play”.

Hamlin chaired the first-ever six-county United Way campaign and the 104th annual campaign Make Way for Good.

“We are incredibly grateful to Frank Hamlin and the entire CNB team for stepping up during another challenging year for our community,” said President and CEO of United Way Jaime Saunders. “Our nonprofit network was fully funded for another year thanks to the generosity of individuals coming together to make way for good for all,” said Saunders.

CNB’s matching gift to United Way is in addition to a record level of employee contributions in our workplace campaign, record volunteer turnout for Day of Caring and the company’s annual support of more than 325 organizations that serve our community.
