Bank of New Hampshire Selects CASA of NH to Receive $12,500 from Elan Charitable Giving Program

The Elan Charitable Giving program recently announced the distribution of $375,000 in donations, benefiting 30 communities nationwide. Each $12,500 gift was given to a charity selected by an Elan Credit Card partner. Bank of New Hampshire, recognized for its unwavering commitment to community support, was selected as an Elan partner for the program. This contribution was designated to support Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of New Hampshire, aligning with BNH’s mission to build brighter futures.

CASA provides a voice for children and youth who have experienced abuse and neglect by empowering a statewide network of trained volunteers to advocate on their behalf so they can thrive in safe, permanent homes.

“We’re excited that a financial institution in New Hampshire was selected to facilitate awarding these funds to a worthy organization like CASA”, said Eric Carter, Senior Vice President – Digital Solutions & Innovation Officer. “BNH aligns itself with partners who have the same philanthropic values as we do and as a result, this contribution will help provide for a brighter future for New Hampshire’s youth.”

Since the launch of the Elan Charitable Giving program in 2022, $1.7 million has been distributed to 122 charities. Elan employees have also volunteered 225 hours of their time to further the impact of these gifts. Additional volunteer events with the selected partners and charities will take place in 2024.

“We’re delighted to expand our reach this year to the communities of 15 credit union and 15 community bank partners,” said John Owens, Elan Credit Card General Manager. “From food insecurity and housing to animal shelters and youth arts programming, the Elan Charitable Giving program continues to support the needs of our partner’s communities.”
