Fidelity Bank employees have selected three local nonprofit organizations to each receive a $10,000 grant, directing a total of $30,000 in charitable funding to organizations making a meaningful impact in the communities the Bank serves.
This year’s employee-selected grant recipients are Anna’s Pals, Coff33 Corp and Newhouse Wildlife Rescue. Fidelity Bank employees recently joined representatives from each organization to celebrate the grants and learn more about the important work they are doing in their respective communities.
“Our employees know and care deeply about the communities we serve, and giving them a voice in where we direct our charitable support makes these grants especially meaningful,” said Sean O’Connell, President of Fidelity Bank. “Anna’s Pals, Coff33 Corp and Newhouse Wildlife Rescue each serve our communities in unique and important ways, and we’re proud to support their work and the positive impact they are making.”
The employee-selected grants reflect Fidelity Bank’s commitment to engaging its employees in giving back and investing in nonprofit organizations that help strengthen and support local communities.
