Visiting
school groups at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary will continue to enjoy guided field
trips, thanks in part to support from Tompkins VIST Bank, which recently
awarded $5,000 in Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) funding to the
Sanctuary. The gift helps to support educational programming at Hawk
Mountain for public school groups.
"Hawk Mountain is thrilled
to have Tompkins VIST Bank as a corporate partner and friend,” says Director of
Development Mary Linkevich. “It’s great to know this community banking
organization supports both the outdoors and public education," she adds.
Tompkins VIST Bank is dedicated
to enhancing the vitality of our community through the support of more than 200
local economic, arts, education, and health-related organizations. Above that,
Tompkins VIST employees contribute countless hours of community service and fundraising
activities for local non-profits.
