Monson Savings Bank Announces $15,000 in Donations as 2023 Community Giving Initiative Votes are Tallied
The Bank’s annual Community Giving Initiative invited the public to cast their vote for local charities that they want to receive contributions.
The people have voted, and the results are in for the Monson Savings Bank 2023 Community Giving Initiative! In late 2022 Monson Savings Bank asked its community members to cast a vote for their non-profit organizations of choice. And they voted with remarkable enthusiasm, submitting nearly 6,000 votes!
This was the thirteenth year of the Monson Savings Bank Community Giving Initiative and the public’s excitement to cast their vote has grown throughout the years.
“We are always so excited to see everyone’s enthusiasm for our annual Community Giving Initiative. As a local, community bank, we have a passion for supporting the local residents, businesses, non-profits, and the overall communities we serve. Our Community Giving Initiative gives our community members the opportunity to have their voice heard and decide the non-profits they would like to see us support,” said Michael Rouette, EVP and Chief Operating Officer of Monson Savings Bank. “We know that the charitable organizations that have been voted on have the ability to make a difference for our neighbors.”
In total, a whopping 400 organizations were nominated to receive a donation. Now that the votes have been tallied, Monson Savings Bank is donating a generous total of $15,000 amongst the top ten vote recipients. Monetary donations are one of the many ways the local bank stays true to their longstanding mission of supporting of local communities.
“We congratulate the following top ten recipients of the Monson Savings Bank 2023 Community Giving Initiative,” said Dan Moriarty, President and CEO of Monson Savings Bank. “All of the organizations are well-deserving non-profits that provide extremely important resources to our communities and their residents. It is evident why they were chosen by our community members to receive support from Monson Savings.”
