The Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties and UpMobility Foundation hosted the fourth annual “Mohawk Valley Gives,” on September 19, to raise funds for local nonprofits serving Herkimer, Oneida and Otsego counties. The community came together and raised over $6.5 million thanks to contributions from more than 8,100 donors, making it a record-breaking year for the campaign. Of the 382 organizations that participated in the giving event, 369 received one or more donations. Community-driven matches and challenges sparked excitement across the region, motivating both nonprofits and their supporters. Numerous organizations benefited from generous match opportunities provided by UpMobility Foundation and the Staffworks Save a Life Campaign—allowing them to multiply their donations one, two, or even threefold during the giving day. Over 14,100 donations, ranging from $5 to $1M, came in from 42 states and the District of Columbia, as well as five countries, contributing to the final tally. Anita Vitullo and her Staffworks Fund at the Community Foundation were once again inspired to make a $1M donation to Anita’s Stevens Swan Humane Society.
