“BankProv’s broader mission is to go beyond financial services and actively engage in initiatives that uplift and empower the community," stated Joe Reilly, Co-CEO at BankProv. "Our recent investment in United Way is a testament to our commitment to giving back and making a lasting impact on the lives of those who need it most. We recognize the interconnectedness of our success with the well-being of our community, and we are honored to contribute to the collective effort in creating a brighter, more equitable future for all."
“Granite United Way is proud to partner with BankProv to bring this support to our local partners. Each of our nonprofit partners in this investment are driving these efforts to address immediate needs in our community,” said Patrick Tufts, President and CEO of Granite United Way. “BankProv’s generous support ensures that childcare, workforce development, housing services and financial assistance for low to moderate income families is available.”
Funding will be distributed to the following nonprofits providing these critical needs: NeighborWorks Southern NH, Liberty House, Families in Transition, Granite YMCA, and Building Community in NH.
“The investment BankProv is making in NeighborWorks Southern NH is ensuring we have the ability to continue proven programs and take others to scale,” said Robert Tourigny, Executive Director of NeighborWorks Southern NH. “Housing is the cornerstone of a healthy, strong community. BankProv’s gift demonstrates their commitment to building our neighbors up.”
Funds will be investing immediately in programming that assists with securing and supporting sustainable housing, provides transitional housing and related supports for veterans, emergency sheltering, providing affordable childcare slots to families, as well as case management and employment assistance and job readiness supports.
“These programs are directly addressing immediate needs and providing opportunities for the future,” said Nichole Reimer, Chief Alignment Officer at Granite United Way. “We have witnessed first-hand the impact of these programs and know that BankProv’s investment is a solid one in lifting not only our nonprofit partners, but the New Hampshire residents they serve.”
