On Monday, November 9th, Youth Action’s Managing Director Anthony Phillips accepted a check for $1, 000 on behalf of Youth Action from Wells Fargo as part of their Community Connections Giving Program.  Wells Fargo 20th and Market Street Branch Manager Joseph Mackie nominated Youth Action for this grant.

Wells Fargo Community Connections Giving Program is an annual program where each of its retail banking stores explores the needs of their local communities and selects a nonprofit organization or school to receive a $1,000 grant. This year, Wells Fargo will award close $300,000 in grants to nonprofit organizations and schools throughout Pennsylvania.

The grants are part of the company’s broader support of its communities. In 2014, Wells Fargo invested more than $13.4 million in nonprofit organizations and schools and team members volunteered more than 57,000 hours across Pennsylvania.

“At Wells Fargo, we know that small acts can yield huge results and we are committed to supporting programs and organizations that we believe are important to the future of our communities’ vitality and success,” said Joseph Mackie, Branch Manager for the 20th and Market street location of Wells Fargo Bank, “So we are proud to support Youth Action with this grant.”

Youth Action recognizes that the amazing work we do in our communities would not be possible without supporters like Wells Fargo. We are incredibly thankful to work with Wells Fargo to provide students with opportunities to lead and serve their communities.
