As a real community Bank, Bradford National Bank has always been committed to our local communities, supporting hundreds of organizations every year. Recent events are no exception as we navigate through the rules and regulations of the pandemic lockdown.
In a show of support to locally owned and operated restaurants, Bradford National Bank gave away over $4,000 in gift cards so consumers would continue to patronize business locally. In recent weeks, the bank processed over 225 applications for the Payroll Protection Program to assist small business with meeting payroll.
Now, in a partnership with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago and their Covid-19 Relief Program, Bradford National Bank will award $30,000 in grants to 12 different non-profit organizations serving Bond and Madison County. Each grant will be for $2,500.
Bradford National Bank president Michael Ennen said, “We are happy about our partnership with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. With their $20,000 grant, we will be able to assist several important organizations in the communities we serve.” In addition to the grant funds, Bradford National Bank committed an additional $10,000 to the local program.
Assistant Vice President Kelsey Kendall, who is managing the program for the bank, said, “These grants will assist several worthwhile organizations who in turn provide valuable services to each community.”
Organizations receiving $2,500 grants include:
