Pioneer Pledges Financial Support for Humanitarian Relief Efforts in Ukraine

ALBANY — Demonstrating its resolute commitment to helping those in need, Pioneer today pledged to provide critical financial support for children and families impacted by the war in Ukraine. Led by its 250-person Capital Region workforce, Pioneer will donate $20,000 to aid humanitarian relief efforts.

Nearly all of Pioneer’s employees support Pioneer’s Charitable Foundation through recurring paycheck deductions and one-time contributions made throughout the year. During the months of April and May, those donations will be directed to organizations providing food, clothing, school supplies and other critical items to the Ukrainian children. In addition, Pioneer will make a dollar-for-dollar match of all employee contributions.

At the conclusion of the campaign, Pioneer will work with St. Nicholas Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Troy, to distribute the donated funds to relief organizations. Members of the public are also invited to make contributions through the Pioneer Charitable Foundation; secure online donations may be made at www.pioneerny.com/community.
