Community
Small acts. Big impact.
As a member-owned cooperative, we invest in the Hudson Valley because that's who we are.
When the credit union does well, the community does too. Here's how we give back and how you can join in.

Giving back to strengthen our community
We are dedicated to improving the lives of our neighbors in the Hudson Valley. We don't just bank here; we live here. From Peekskill to Kingston, we work alongside our members to make our communities a better place to live.
Although we consider all types of funding requests, MHV is focused on four core charitable causes:
-
Education
-
Local Community Development
-
Health and Wellness
-
Human and Social Services
MHV is accepting applications to sponsor 2026 programs and events. We ask all potential partners to submit a sponsorship request via the online form below 60 to 90 days before the event date, or when funds are needed. Please complete all required information to the best of your ability and include any required attachments.
What our partners say about MHV
“MHV's generous end-of-year donation to our organization was a great holiday surprise for us… MHV is helping us to continue our important work, now in our 30th year, which includes protecting our natural resources and providing educational programming. Thank you MHV!”
