Leadership Sandy Springs was recently awarded a $1,000 grant from Wells Fargo at its seventh annual Days of Giving community breakfast.

Nominated by Leadership Sandy Springs board member and class of 2009 alumna Paula Owens, Executive Director Jan Paul received the grant award along with 57 north Atlanta nonprofit organizations.

“We appreciate Wells Fargo’s ongoing commitment to Leadership Sandy Springs,“ Paul said. “This grant helps us provide the relevant information and influential speakers to our class and alumni groups that help develop leaders for our community. Our partnership with Wells Fargo is vital to helping build a better Sandy Springs and Central Perimeter area.”

Days of Giving is a Wells Fargo initiative that allow individual banks to honor organizations in the communities where those branches are located.

All groups were selected by frontline team members in bank locations in the area.

Along with this year’s donation, Wells Fargo will have given more than $1.5 million in Days of Giving grants to groups across metro Atlanta since the program’s inception.

“The level of commitment these organizations give to North Atlanta make me so proud to honor them through Days of Giving and to call them my neighbors,” said Scott Asher, North Atlanta area president for Wells Fargo.
