The WSFS CARES Foundation, the charitable giving arm of WSFS
Bank (Nasdaq: WSFS), announced it has provided grants to two
organizations located in Delaware and Pennsylvania as part of its
continuing series of philanthropic activities by WSFS and the
Foundation. The grants, approved in the second quarter by the WSFS
CARES Foundation board, will support the following
organizations:
- The Community Education Building ($50,000 Grant) The
Community Education Building (CEB), located in Wilmington, Del.,
works to build an educational support system that allows every
child an equitable opportunity to succeed. The WSFS funds will
support CEB’s Student Advocacy System, which is one of their
flagship services in addition to their Families Achieving More
Program for adults in their students’ lives. Both programs offer
hands-on direct navigation support to individuals.
- WHYY, Inc. ($25,000 Grant) WHYY is the leading public
media organization in the Philadelphia region with a mission to
engage audiences, expand perspectives and empower communities
through continuous learning, truthful reporting, healthy dialogue
and amplification of diverse voices. The WSFS funds will support
the WHYY Media Labs and Pathways to Careers Program, a partnership
with the School District of Philadelphia to bring WHYY’s brand of
high-quality media instruction to middle and high school students.
The program has a proven and documented track record for developing
necessary life skills like self-esteem, self-confidence, and time
management for students to succeed.
“Education and Leadership Development is one of the core pillars
of the WSFS CARES Foundation,” said Patrick J. Ward, Executive Vice
President, Pennsylvania Market President at WSFS Bank and Chairman
of the WSFS CARES Foundation. “WSFS supports educational programs
for children and adults to provide opportunities for mentoring,
workforce development, internship programs, financial literacy and
more to help prepare members of the Community for success. By
working together with organizations like the Community Education
Building and WHYY to support educational resources, we’re getting
closer to our vision of a day when everyone will thrive.”
“On behalf of the Community Education Building and our over
1,100 students, we are incredibly grateful to receive a two-year,
$50,000 grant from the WSFS CARES Foundation,” said Ihsan Muhammad,
Chief Impact Officer, Community Education Building. “Because of
WSFS, our High School Student Advocacy program will be able to
guide more students to graduate on time, ensure that more students
are ready for post-secondary success, and meet the unique needs of
students in our Wilmington communities. This program, and those
like it, are critical for workforce and economic development in
Delaware, and we could not make them happen without our generous
supporters.”
“With help from this generous WSFS CARES Foundation grant, WHYY
is engaging a new class of students in our youth employment
program, where they will learn new skills, grow their resumes and
portfolios, build professional networks, and share their voices
with WHYY's audience,” said Craig Santoro, WHYY’s Director of
Educational Programs.
