Personal Community Giving

Fidelity Bank is proud to be a leader in the charitable giving of financial support and volunteer hours throughout northeastern Pennsylvania. Each year, Fidelity receives thousands of requests for financial assistance and  

in-kind donations. Although most requests are indeed worthy, our Donations Committee has the task of determining how contributions will best and most effectively benefit our community as a whole.

 

Who's Eligible?

 

As a rule, Fidelity will not support organizations whose activities do not benefit the communities the Bank serves. Fidelity also does not fund political organizations or projects or activities that benefit an individual. Commitment during previous years in and of itself doesn’t necessarily mean continued support. However, if previous support is combined with any other number of factors, this information will be taken into consideration.

 

Fidelity Bank supports organizations in four main categories:

 

·         501 (c) 3 non-profit groups (i.e. United Way, American Red Cross, etc.)

·         School groups (booster clubs, athletic, academic or extracurricular groups)

·         Community-based groups (police & fire departments, libraries, parks, etc.)

·         Faith-based groups (churches, synagogues, mosques, etc.)

 

Reasons for Giving Back

 

Fidelity believes strongly that as a community bank, aid should be given to those organizations and groups that have helped the community grow and prosper. Preference will also be given to those organizations and groups that are customers of Fidelity. Our community is your community and we truly believe that an investment in our neighbors and neighborhoods is really an investment in the future.

 

How to Apply

Written requests must be submitted to any Fidelity Bank branch or mailed directly to the address below:

Fidelity Bank

Att: Marketing Department

338 North Washington Ave.

Scranton, PA 18503

Requests must contain the following information:

  1. Complete name of requesting organization or group
  2. Complete mailing address
  3. Deadline date
  4. Reason for request (event, activity, etc.)
  5. Sponsorship levels (if applicable)
  6. Specifications of ad including color & size (if applicable)

We ask that all requests kindly be submitted within 4-6 weeks of organization’s deadline.

Although most requests are worthy, Fidelity is only able to support a limited number of organizations. Therefore, some requests which meet all the criteria outlined may still be turned down. Every attempt will be made to grant a request and we may give a denied request greater consideration the following year.
