KeyBank awards grants to Bucks organizations

Posted

KeyBank has given charitable grants to two organizations serving low-income individuals and families in the Bucks County community.

Habitat for Humanity Bucks County has received a $20,000 grant from KeyBank Foundation to support its Homeownership Program and its efforts to build three new affordable homes for qualified first-time homeowners. The funds will also help provide members of its Almost Home program with free, first-time homebuyer education. Habitat for Humanity assists individuals or families living or working in Bucks County with incomes under 80% of the Area Median Income to achieve homeownership.

In addition, KeyBank Foundation has given $15,000 to Bucks County Opportunity Council Economic Self-Sufficiency program to help provide one-on -one coaching and resources to help low-income individual and families achieve economic stability. The program takes an individualized approach to helping at-risk residents find a pathway out of poverty through personalized educational and employment plans, coupled with coaching and support programs to help them be successful.

Leaders from KeyBank’s eastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey market recently met with both organizations to present KeyBank Foundation checks.
