Vermont Business Magazine Citizens Bank Foundation provided Lund with a grant of $5,000 through the Colleague Funded Grant program. Funding for the grant came from donations to the foundation made by Citizens employees during its annual payroll giving campaign as well as $200,000 in personal donations pledged by the bank’s senior leadership team at the end of 2016.
Lund will use the grant to support initiatives integrated into programming that address fighting hunger; one of Citizen’s Bank priority funding areas.
