Synchrony Financial, a leading consumer financial services company, announced more than $1.5 million in grants to local nonprofits in Stamford. The announcement was made during a spring celebration with Mayor Caroline Simmons, featuring the blooming of hundreds of daffodils across Downtown Stamford.
The grants, provided by Synchrony and the Synchrony Foundation, aim to enhance parks, support youth education, and provide health and human services, improving the quality of life for Stamford residents. Sue Bishop, EVP and Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Synchrony, emphasized the company’s commitment to making a meaningful difference in the community.
“Every daffodil planted and every grant given reflects Synchrony’s dedication to building strong communities,” said Bishop. “Together with Mayor Simmons, Stamford Parks Community Partnership, and Stamford Downtown, we’re helping our city bloom in more ways than one.”
Mayor Simmons expressed gratitude for Synchrony’s continued partnership and contributions to the city. “From beautifying our parks and small business corridors to providing vital financial support to local nonprofits, Synchrony’s contributions make a lasting impact on our community,” she said.
The daffodil planting and grants are part of Synchrony’s broader initiatives to support the local community, including the recent “Doubles Dive” polar plunge to raise funds for SeriousFun Children’s Network.
