Susquehanna’s Corporate Giving Program
Susquehanna works hard to enhance the communities we serve. In
addition to helping people and institutions achieve their financial goals, our contributions
to programs and projects which provide safe and affordable housing, that inspire
education and learning, and increase access to the arts now total nearly $3 million
annually. How do we do it?
Focused, impactful giving through our funding priorities
It is our belief that viable, sustainable communities are created when corporations
work closely with strong nonprofit partners to address critical community needs.
By investing in our neighborhoods, we’re investing in each other.
Susquehanna’s corporate giving program targets innovative programs and projects
that are in alignment with our three main strategic priorities: Community and Economic
Development, Youth and Education, and Access to the Arts. Health and human service
organizations whose efforts target these priorities will also be considered.
