CINCINNATI, October 11, 2024 /CSRwire/ - For more than a century, Fifth Third Bank has managed private foundations, empowering individuals, families and institutions to realize their visions and leave a legacy for the greater good. It all started with Bank president, Jacob G. Schmidlapp. A pioneer, ahead of his time, he established the Jacob G. Schmidlapp Trust in 1903.
Today, the Foundation Office at Fifth Third Bank works diligently to ensure these foundations fulfill their mission of giving back to worthy charitable causes. From October 1 – November 22, 2024, the Cincinnati, Dayton, Northern Kentucky and Piqua regional grant application process is open for grants that will be awarded by April 1, 2025.
“The Foundation Office at Fifth Third Bank is committed to healthy, strong and vibrant communities,” said Heidi B. Jark, senior vice president and managing director of The Foundation Office at Fifth Third Bank.
“Our Grant Application Process is designed to connect those organizations seeking support with opportunities to enable them with needed resources. Our goal is to make that process as transparent, accessible and easy as possible,” Jark added.
New this year, there are two application links. Organizations are welcome to apply to both applications, if they find they have appropriate requests.
