Greenleaf WI, May 24, 2021 – GreenLeaf Bank has officially funded 147 Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loans, totaling over $4.5 million to assist local businesses. The PPP program provides forgivable Small Business Administration (SBA) loans to businesses adversely affected by the covid19 pandemic meeting specific guidelines.
"Our existing partnership with the SBA provided us the ability to quickly make significant contributions to the local business community at a time of great need,” says GreenLeaf Bank President/CEO David Krutz. "Bank staff put forth an amazing effort to make these loans happen. So, it’s extra gratifying to see the positive impact on local businesses and their employees.”
On May 4th, the Small Business Administration announced Paycheck Protection Program funding had been exhausted and the application portal is no longer accepting new requests.
America Saves Week is a widely recognized national campaign where thousands of organizations join together to collectively encourage their communities to focus on their individual financial wellness. Over the course of a week we cover money-related topics from a relatable, down-to-earth, positive perspective. Savers end the week with tools, resources, and clarity on their current financial situation, new savings goals, and a realistic plan to achieve them.
The America Saves pledge is the central tool that allows savers to set a goal, and make a plan to achieve better financial stability.
Each day of America Saves Week has its own theme: Save Automatically, Save for the Unexpected, Save to Retire, Save by Reducing Debt, and Save as a Family.We're joining forces with the Wrightstown Area Food pantry to collect food for area families in need. We encourage everyone to drop off non-perishable items at either bank office. Greenleaf Wayside Bank will donate an additional $1 to assist the pantry for every donation! Donations are accepted the entire month of November. So join us for this very worthwhile community project.
Greenleaf Wayside Bank employees volunteered at the Brown County Fair 4-H and FFA Livestock and Dairy auction. Each year bank staff oversee the bidding process and document high bidders and collect funds.
Thank you everyone who has donated to Greenleaf Wayside Bank’s School Supply Drive for 2019. All school supplies were donated to the Wrightstown Area School District and the Wrightstown Area Food Pantry. If you or someone you know is in need of school supplies, please contact Jeannie Wall of the Wrightstown Area Food Pantry at 920-562-4286.
