Bancroft, a leading provider of programs and supports for children and adults with autism, varied intellectual or developmental disabilities, and acquired brain injuries, was awarded a $1,000 grant on Aug. 11 by Wells Fargo. The funds will help support the organization’s mission of providing opportunities to children and adults with diverse challenges to maximize their potential.
“At a time when donations from the public and private sectors are down due to the economy, we truly appreciate the support Wells Fargo has provided,” said Gloria M. Pugliese, director of foundation and corporate philanthropy at Bancroft, who added that the grant would be used for general operating support.
The grant was awarded as part of Wells Fargo’s Community Connections program, which provides local branch managers the opportunity to make a $1,000 charitable contribution on behalf of Wells Fargo to a nonprofit of their choice.
