‍Firstrust Bank and The Green Family Foundation announced today the organizations will jointly contribute $100,000 to the PHL COVID-19 Fund, a fund organized by the City of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Foundation, and United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey (UWGPSNJ) to aid nonprofits on the frontlines of the COVID-19 emergency, providing urgent resources throughout the Philadelphia region.

“The nonprofit organizations which serve our region’s most critical populations during this time of turmoil deserve our support now more than ever. The PHL COVID-19 fund is a prime example of the impact we can make when we collaborate as a region to give back to the organizations which make our communities thrive. As Philadelphia’s Hometown Bank, Firstrust and the Green Family Foundation are pleased to support these vital resources and services,” said Richard J. Green, Chairman and CEO of Firstrust Bank. 

With this contribution, Firstrust Bank and The Green Family Foundation join a growing list of committed partners, including the School District of Philadelphia, The William Penn Foundation, The Lenfest Foundation, Independence Blue Cross, and many others. 

The PHL COVID-19 Fund will provide grants to organizations throughout Greater Philadelphia that provide services for underserved and at-risk populations including people experiencing homelessness, people with disabilities, and seniors. Eligible nonprofits can apply for the grants, which will be made on a rolling basis to prioritize those with the greatest need. 

Today’s contribution to the PHL COVID-19 Fund by Firstrust and the Green Family Foundation is in addition to a $250,000 contribution made to the Philadelphia COVID-19 Small Business Relief Fund.

Firstrust Bank was founded in Philadelphia more than 85 years ago, and is the largest and financially strongest family-owned and managed bank in the Greater Philadelphia region. 

Founded in memory of Daniel B. and Florence E. Green, The Green Family Foundation is dedicated to cultivating and investing in the innovative and impactful solutions that will enable individuals to thrive, and communities to flourish, in order to realize their full potential.
