Old National Donates $190,000 in ‘Choose your Charity’ Grants to Tennessee Nonprofits
EVANSVILLE, IND. (NASDAQ: ONB) – Old National Bancorp (“Old National”) in March donated $190,000 through its Choose Your Charity program. ONB put the power in the Tennessee communities’ hands as they voted for their favorite nonprofit organizations.
During the February voting period, Old National’s online portal received votes for nonprofits across the Tennessee market. The 22 winning organizations (see list below) had to be registered with 501(c)(3) legal tax exemption status within the bank’s participating communities.
The highest vote recipients from each Old National banking center won $7,500 to help support their work in local communities. The overall top vote recipient, Live Love Nashville, received an additional $25,000, for a total of $32,500.
Live Love Nashville is a 501c3 non-profit helping children in need, and families through tragedies throughout Middle Tennessee. Of the proceeds from merchandise sales, 100% of the proceeds go toward helping make sure children in Nashville have all the basic necessities they need such as food, warm clothing, school supplies, and hygiene items. It is estimated there are more than 3,000 homeless children in the Nashville area alone.
“No child should have to go without,” said founder Taylor Rowe. “Live Love Nashville is here to try to make an impact for those children who need us. We can’t do it without the support of our communities and businesses.”
“We are grateful to all those that voted for their favorite charity and are honored to play a part in funding the great work each of these organizations is doing throughout our community,” said Steve Cook, Old National Tennessee Market President.
