07.03.09: Bank on Some Grant Money

From The Friends of the Forbes in Northampton:

"Vote for Friends of Forbes in Florence Savings Bank's Customer Choice Community Grants!

Florence Savings Bank will donate $50,000 to local, non-profit organizations and we're asking our customers to help us decide where the money will go.

You must be a customer to vote and there's just one person per vote. If you are not a customer, it's very easy to become one. Open a deposit account or take out a loan at FSB, and you'll be eligible to vote for your favorite charity.

Any qualifying non-profit organization which receives more than 1% of the total vote, will receieve a proportional share of the funds. In order to qualify, the organization must be a 501(c)(3) or equivalent and agree to spend funds on local needs.

Voting ends December 31, 2009! Submit your vote today!"
