Dette artikel blev oprindeligt offentliggjort p\u00e5 Santa Barbara Independent som en pressemeddelelse fra Montecito Bank & Trust.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santa Barbara, Californien \u2013 Montecito Bank & Trust indledte h\u00f8jtiden med at fejre deres 23. \u00e5rlige Community Dividends-prisuddeling p\u00e5 mandag den 24. november.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

. F\u00f8rstebet\u00e6nkningen til Thanksgiving er en s\u00e6rlig og hjertelig tak til de nonprofitorganisationer i vores lokalsamfund og et kendetegn for bankens virksomhedsfrivillighed. Banken har ydet mere end $24 millioner til over 300 nonprofitorganisationer siden programmet blev indf\u00f8rt i 2003. I 2025 vil bankens samlede investering i nonprofitorganisationer, der fokuserer p\u00e5 at st\u00f8tte lokale organisationer, der servicerer personer med lav-til middelh\u00f8jt indkomst i Santa Barbara og Ventura counties, overstige $1,7 millioner, hvoraf $1,2 millioner vil blive tildelt gennem mandagens arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

188 nonprofitledere fra hele Santa Barbara og Ventura counties m\u00f8dtes p\u00e5 The Hilton Santa Barbara Beachside Resort sammen med 68 medarbejdere fra Banken, Bankens ledelse, bestyrelsen og emeritusdirekt\u00f8ren Pete Jordano for en netv\u00e6rksaften, efterfulgt af en Thanksgiving-inspireret frokost. MB&T-medarbejdere har i l\u00f8bet af 2025 ydet frivilligt arbejde p\u00e5 over 5.500 timer for mange af de ikke-kommercielle organisationer, der deltog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Janet Garufis, formand og administrerende direkt\u00f8r, hilsede alle velkommen og udtrykte taknemmelighed over for de frivillige ledere og deres arbejde for at g\u00f8re vores lokalsamfund bedre,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDu og dine teams er dygtige probleml\u00f8sere; ofte de f\u00f8rste til at se et behov og tage skridt for at im\u00f8dekomme det. Du reagerer p\u00e5 aktuelle kriser, arbejder p\u00e5 at finde langsigtede l\u00f8sninger og hj\u00e6lper med at styrke enkeltpersoner og familier, s\u00e5 de har de v\u00e6rkt\u00f8jer, de har brug for til ikke kun at overleve, men ogs\u00e5 at trives. Du giver mad til de sultne, husly til de hjeml\u00f8se og heler de syge. Du bringer gl\u00e6de og heling til vores lokalsamfund gennem musik, dans og performance. Du uddanner os og hj\u00e6lper os med at n\u00e5 vores h\u00f8jeste potentiale. Du lytter til vores lokalsamfund og engagerer os i at forst\u00e5 deres behov bedre, samarbejder med partnere for at v\u00e6re mere effektive i at im\u00f8dekomme disse behov og taler for \u00e6ndringer for at forbedre livskvaliteten for alle segmenter af vores lokalsamfund. TAK!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I 2019 tilf\u00f8jede Banken Michael Towbes Community Impact Dividend (MTCID) til Community Dividends for at h\u00e6dre arven efter grundl\u00e6ggeren Michael Towbes, hvis vision inspirerede bankens filantropi. Denne \u00e5rlige udbytte tildeler en andel p\u00e5 mindst $100.000 til en eller flere nonprofitorganisationer, der leverer kritiske og b\u00e6redygtige tjenester til et stort antal af de mest s\u00e5rbare i Santa Barbara og Ventura counties. Med den stigende eftersp\u00f8rgsel og et stadigt skiftende finansieringslandskab i \u00e5r bliver mange nonprofitorganisationers finansielle stabilitet udfordret. Fru Garufis delte, at \u201cat identificere \u00e9n s\u00f8jle, hvor behovet var tydeligst \u2013 f\u00f8devareusikkerhed, mental sundhed, bolig og sundhedspleje \u2013 viste sig at v\u00e6re en umulig opgave.\u201d Da banken s\u00e5 muligheder i arbejdet fra to velrespekterede samfundsinstitutter, valgte den at tildele hver af disse partners n\u00f8dhj\u00e6lpsemner $100.000 kroner, hvilket resulterede i et samlet bel\u00f8b p\u00e5 $200.000 kroner. Fru Garufis bem\u00e6rkede, at beslutningen \u201cdemonstrerer MB&T's urokkelige engagement over for hele vores samfund. Mike h\u00e5bede altid, at vores filantropi \u201cvil v\u00e6re forbillede for andre i samfundet\u201d. Vi mener, at dette er et af de \u00f8jeblikke, hvor MB&T kan komme med en kraftig erkl\u00e6ring om det presserende behov for st\u00f8tte.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modtagerne af Impact Dividend i 2025 er:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Santa Barbara Foundation <\/strong>modtog $100.000 i st\u00f8tte til sin Kritisk n\u00f8dhj\u00e6lp-fond<\/strong>. Fonden st\u00f8tter organisationer, der tager sig af og sikrer vores samfunds velbefindende ved at yde dem kritisk tilskudsfinansiering, s\u00e5 de kan levere essentielle tjenester og styrke deres evne til at tilpasse sig skiftende forhold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Ventura County Community Foundation<\/strong> modtog $100.000 i st\u00f8tte til sin Ventura County<\/strong> Naboernes st\u00f8ttefond. <\/strong>Fonden yder akut assistance til familier og sm\u00e5 virksomhedsejere gennem p\u00e5lidelige lokalsamfundspartnere. En s\u00e6rlig r\u00e5dgivende komit\u00e9 af respekterede lokale ledere sikrer en gennemsigtig fordeling af ressourcer til at im\u00f8dekomme kritiske humanit\u00e6re behov, herunder mad, transport, lejehj\u00e6lp, bolig og andre essentielle tjenester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

G\u00e6sterne fik ogs\u00e5 lov til at nyde en overraskende optr\u00e6den fra Music Academy of the West\u2019s (MAW) program SING!, et gratis korprogram efter skoletid, der involverer elever prim\u00e6rt fra Title I-skoler i Santa Barbara. MB&T er den officielle sponsor for dette program. Over 30 lokale skoleb\u00f8rn tog entusiastisk scenen for at optr\u00e6de. Shalom Chaverim<\/em>, en hebr\u00e6isk folkemusik og Kuwa Furaha (V\u00e6r glad)<\/em>, af Jim Papoulis. Et hjertevarmende \u00f8jeblik, det var ogs\u00e5 en demonstration af det arbejde, som organisationer som MAW udf\u00f8rer hver dag for at g\u00f8re kunsten tilg\u00e6ngelig for alle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Da lunchen var slut, meddelte fru Garufis, at som en hyldest til bankens 50-\u00e5rs jubil\u00e6um var fem gyldne billetter, repr\u00e6senterende de fem \u00e5rtier af Montecito Bank & Trust, tilf\u00e6ldigt placeret i bankens rapport om samfundsm\u00e6ssig indvirkning for 2025, som blev uddelt til deltagere fra nonprofitorganisationer. De fem nonprofitorganisationer, der fandt en gylden billet, modtog en ekstra overraskelse i form af en donation p\u00e5 $500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
