2023 Truly Local Grant Program Recipients

We received a remarkable amount of applications for our first ever Truly Local Grant program, and it was so very hard to choose only four recipients.

Community and Non-Profit Accounts

PenFinancial’s Truly Local Commitment to Niagara isn’t just about checking a box. We’ve truly drawn a line in the sand and are putting our money where our mouth is.

One of the ways we’ve decided to do this is by offering non-profits in Niagara a banking relationship that was built specifically for you.
