Associated Bank Foundation Donation

Veterans 1^st of NEW is the recent recipient of a large grant from the Associated Bank Foundation to help us with operating costs during Phase 1 of construction for our Cottage Court Village for veterans in need. Associated Bank and the Associated Bank Foundation provide financial support through charitable donations to help create and sustain the well-being of our communities.

Each year, Associated Bank and Associated Bank Foundation donate millions of dollars in charitable grants to local nonprofit organizations with the majority of that total supporting community development programs. At Associated Bank, they recognize that they can only be successful if the communities in which they operate are also successful. Developing and maintaining relationships with nonprofits and other charitable organizations that create and sustain vibrant and stable neighborhoods is critical, and a focus of their Community Commitment Plan. Each year they support hundreds of nonprofit organizations through charitable grants and sponsorships.
