Florence Savings Bank Community Grants!

Last Updated on Tuesday, 01 October 2013 19:32 Wednesday, 06 October 2010 09:11

Every year, Florence Savings Bank (FSB) helps local communities by awarding grants to non-profits around the Pioneer Valley.

Through its Customers' Choice Community Grants, FSB is donating $75,000 to local nonprofit organizations. In the past, Friends of Clapp Memorial Library has received enough votes to be awarded a grant, and we are very thankful to FSB for its support, as well as to the customers who voted for the Friends!

The Community Grants program allows FSB customers to vote for their favorite non-profit group. Voting ends on December 31, but get your votes in now, while you're thinking of it! If you have any type of account at Florence Savings Bank, you can cast your vote for the Friends of Clapp Memorial Library.

You can:

• Fill-out FSB's Customers' Choice Community Grants secure form online; or
• Visit the Library and complete a paper ballot at the main desk; or
• Go to your nearest FSB location, and let them know you want to help the Friends of Clapp Memorial Library.

Together, in an instant, we can make a huge difference for our Library, while Clapp Memorial Library continues to generate a positive impact in Belchertown every day.
