Santander awards $3.1M in social-welfare grants

BOSTON – Santander Bank this month announced it has awarded more than $3.1 million in new grants to 73 organizations throughout its Northeastern footprint.
“The organizations we support reflect our values as a company and provide opportunities that enrich the lives and economic futures of underserved children, young adults and families,” said Jerry Plush, chief administrative officer for Santander. “Part of becoming the best bank in the communities we serve includes embracing the important responsibility we have to drive change and make meaningful contributions where we live and work.”
The bank awards grants three times a year toward financial education, neighborhood revitalization, small business development, community services and affordable housing. Last year, Santander awarded more than $4.5 million in grants to 286 organizations, and 1,500 of its employees volunteered about 13,700 hours for local nonprofit organizations.
