Committed to Our
Communities

Siena Lending Group is committed to giving back to the communities where we conduct business—and which we call home. 

Making an Impact in Multiple Ways

At Siena, we are incredibly grateful to the team members, business partners and clients who have contributed to our success over the years. That sentiment is the driving force behind our community service efforts, along with the belief that we are all connected. Across our company, we share a dedication to contributing to our communities through both charitable giving and hands-on volunteer work.

Community Service

Siena team members frequently donate their time at nonprofit organizations, both through our company-wide Volunteer Day initiatives and on an individual basis. We also enjoy participating in fundraisers for causes that are especially meaningful to our team. Many of these efforts take place in Connecticut, where our company is headquartered, but our volunteer work also extends to other parts of the country where Siena maintains a presence.

Charitable Giving

It has become a Siena tradition to make a substantial donation on behalf of our team members and clients at year-end. This typically takes the form of individual gifts to numerous food pantries and soup kitchens across the country, in addition to various organizations in Connecticut. We also provide support to local public schools that serve socioeconomically diverse student populations.

Combating Hunger

Our annual holiday tradition of donating to food pantries and soup kitchens across the country began during the pandemic. For the Siena team, it was a period that underscored the importance of valuing what we have and sharing with those who are less fortunate. Today, we are proud to share that Siena has provided the financial support to serve more than 1 million meals to those who would otherwise go hungry.

Stories of Service & Support

Our team members find community service truly rewarding, and across the company we are proud of the financial support we provide to nonprofit organizations and schools. We invite you to explore some of the volunteerism and charitable giving initiatives we’ve undertaken over the years.

Siena Sponsors CFA Cares Spring Gala

Siena Sponsors CFA Cares Spring Gala

On May 10, 2019, Nick Payne, Director of Siena Lending Group and President of CFA Midwest, organized the inaugural CFA Cares Spring Gala to benefit Imerman Angels, an organization that provides one-on-one cancer support to those affected by some form of the disease, free of charge. The gala was Nick’s fourth fundraiser for Imerman Angels and, with over 200 people in attendance, the most successful yet.

Siena Lending Group was a sponsor of the event.

Almost everyone has been touched by cancer in some way or another. And, while there are many organizations devoted to finding cures for many variations of the disease, Nick admired Imerman’s mission which seeks to aid those affected by cancer today.

Through their unique matching process, Imerman Angels partners cancer patients seeking support with someone just like them – a cancer survivor who has faced the same type and stage of cancer, better known as a “Mentor Angel.”

These one-on-one relationships give cancer fighters the chance to ask personal questions and receive motivation and empathy from someone who has been there before them. Mentor Angels help patients navigate the system, determine their options, and create their own support systems all while being sensitive and compassionate to the experience.

Computers for Kids in Need

Computers for Kids in Need

Siena was proud to partner with several public schools in Stamford, CT, where we are based, to give computers to students in need. In all, we donated more than 20 laptops that were out of circulation. It was truly gratifying to read the many thank-you letters we received from the schools, explaining how the computers would be refurbished and issued to young scholars to help advance their education.

Volunteer Day

Volunteer Day

Our first company-wide volunteer day was devoted to DOMUS, a nonprofit organization in Stamford, CT, where Siena is headquartered. DOMUS serves more than 1,100 at-risk and underprivileged youth in the city, providing programs to help them live healthy and fulfilling lives, both now and into adulthood.

The Siena team was honored and humbled at the opportunity to spend an afternoon with children in grades 3-8, playing kickball, dodgeball, basketball and other games. We also enjoyed talking to the children about their interests, career paths and life in general.

DOMUS is Latin for “home.” The organization’s slogan is “Love Lives Here,” and we could truly feel that sentiment during our short time there. The Siena team thanks everyone at DOMUS for the opportunity to share an afternoon with you.
