Peoples Security Charitable Foundation

Statement of Purpose

The Peoples Security Charitable Foundation concentrates its grant making activities on 501(c)(3) charitable organizations seeking funds to advance innovative programs having a measurable and positive impact on the residents of the communities in which the Peoples Security Bank conducts business. Our goal is to return to those communities some of the benefit the bank has received as a responsible corporate citizen.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, health, education, scientific, literary and social welfare programs and the overall protection of children and youth. Generally, the foundation does not contribute to general operating expenses. The foundation encourages challenge grants, matching grants and partnerships involving worthwhile projects. Normally, the foundation will not consider multi-year grants or grants to programs that are duplicative of others currently being conducted in the community.

Charitable Foundation Application

• Grant requests exceeding $5,000 are typically not eligible for consideration.
• The foundation convenes four times a year, specifically on the second Monday of January, April, July, and October. To be considered, submissions must be received two weeks before the meeting date.

*The Peoples Security Charitable Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
