BERLIN, MD (April 1, 2025) – Taylor Bank, Member FDIC, Equal Housing Lender, today announced it is accepting applications for 2025 grants from the bank’s For Good Fund.
In 2023, the bank introduced the For Good Checking Account. For customers who chose to enroll, a portion of every debit card transaction has been directed to the For Good Fund. From those contributions, approximately $15,000 will be awarded in this grant cycle to nonprofit organizations that strengthen and enhance local communities. Individual grants will range from $1,000 to $5,000.
“We are thrilled to enter the current year grant cycle of our For Good Fund,” said Andrea Adams, Chief Retail Banking Officer and Co-Chair of Taylor Bank’s Giving Committee. “With the incredible support of our community, we’re excited to continue empowering nonprofits to make a lasting difference and strengthen the places we call home.”
Applications are available at https://www.taylorbank.com/forgoodfund as of April 1, 2025. Your completed application must be submitted by June 1, 2025.
The For Good Fund was created to support local nonprofits, with an emphasis on supporting low-income communities including:
- Neighborhood Development – such as programs that create affordable housing opportunities, support vulnerable homeowners, and help revitalize neighborhoods.
- Workforce Development and Education – such as programs that promote financial literacy and provide skills training for young and economically-disadvantaged residents.
- Basic Human Services – such as food, housing and fuel programs, and others that provide immediate and long-term solutions for those facing economic hardship.
