MANILA, Philippines—BNY Mellon, a global investment management and investment services firm, announced Friday it is making an initial donation of $100,000 to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to support relief efforts in the Philippines in the wake of Supertyphoon “Yolanda” (international name: Haiyan).
The company is also donating $25,000 to help “Stop Hunger Now” ship 100,000 packed meals to the Philippines. “It has been so difficult to witness the catastrophic losses experienced by the victims and their families of Typhoon Haiyan.
