The Malvern Federal Charitable Foundation, the charitable arm of Malvern Bank, has made financial grants totaling $60,000 to 15 nonprofits. The grants were made possible in part through the proceeds of the foundation’s Charity Polo Match held on Sept. 25, 2022, at the Brandywine Polo Club in Toughkenamon, Pa. Proceeds benefited nonprofit organizations in Malvern Bank’s service areas – Southeastern Pennsylvania, Northern New Jersey, and Palm Beach County, Fla.

Grants were made to several regional non-profits including, Community Volunteers in Medicine, Foundation for Learning in Tredyffrin-Easttown, Maternal and Child Health Consortium, North Star of Chester County, The Home of the Sparrow and Peter’s Place, all located in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Additional grants included Curing Kid’s Cancer in Atlanta, Ga., Quantum House and Housing Solutions, Inc., Roots & Wings, and Vantage Health System in Northern New Jersey.

This year, the Foundation also awarded the inaugural William H. Woolworth III Memorial Grant, named for Malvern Bank’s former Executive Vice President and Chief Risk Officer, who passed away on March 30, 2022. The grant was awarded to Co-County Wellness Services, where William served as President of the Board of Directors. The organization’s free services improve the public health through service, education, and advocacy in Berks and Schuylkill counties. Co-County Wellness Services is the only comprehensive HIV/STD service organization in those counties.

“The Malvern Federal Charitable Foundation Charity Polo Match was designed to boost interest in, and giving to, the charitable organizations in Malvern Bank’s service areas,” said Anthony C. Weagley, President of the Malvern Federal Charitable Foundation and President and CEO of Malvern Bank. “Malvern Bank is dedicated to furthering our outreach to assist charities and organizations within the communities that we serve.”

The Malvern Federal Charitable Foundation was established in 2008 to support programs for housing assistance, local education, not-for-profit medical facilities, not-for-profit community groups, and other charitable causes that contribute to the quality of life in the local community. Since its founding, the foundation has awarded grants totaling $938,500 to dozens of nonprofits serving tens of thousands of individuals in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Florida.
