New Nonprofits Named as Penn Community Bank Partners

After its successful debut in 2017, Workplace Connections, Penn Community Bank’s bank-at-work program, has chosen five new nonprofit partners to receive contributions for 2018.

For every new checking account opened through Workplace Connections, Penn Community Bank will donate $10 on behalf of the account owner to one of the following organizations: Aldie Counseling Center; the James A. Michener Art Museum; Network of Victim Assistance (NOVA); Penn Foundation; or United Way of Bucks County.

The proceeds will be totaled up at the end of the year and presented to the nonprofits to use for whatever needs or programs they wish.

“We are grateful to Penn Community Bank for the opportunity to receive donations through its Workplace Connections program,” said Barbara Donnelly Bentivoglio, Interim Director of the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown. “Art is good for business, and business is good for art. When local businesses and nonprofits work together, our entire community benefits, and we look forward to using those funds to support the Michener Art Museum’s role as a cultural beacon and an economic force for area tourism.”

Workplace Connections is a bank-at-work program that brings benefits, including free financial literacy workshops, to area employers and their employees. As part of the program, Penn Community Bank’s financial experts visit local employers to provide on-site financial education. Penn Community Bank provides educational materials and an orientation for new employees. Employers that participate in Workplace Connections also are eligible to be featured in Penn Community Bank’s Small Business Spotlight, which highlights a participating local business at one of the bank’s branch locations.

Anyone who opens a new free checking account through the Workplace Connections program will get a cash bonus deposited into the account. Paychecks can be deposited directly and enrollment can be completed on-site at work, eliminating the need to make a special trip to the bank.

In 2017, Workplace Connections generated $5,000 in donations for five local nonprofits: Bucks County Opportunity Council, Bucks County SPCA, Central Bucks Family YMCA, Family Service Association of Bucks County, and Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County.
