APS Bank plc is issuing an open call for funding applications that can be supported under the criteria of its 2024 CSR Programme.
Jeremy Vassallo, CSR Manager, explained that this step was considered necessary given the ever-growing sponsorship requests competing for a share of the Bank’s increased CSR budget. Applications and projects will need to fit around the Bank’s three CSR pillars, namely Arts (inc. Heritage, Culture, etc.), Education (inc. Sport, Wellbeing, etc.) and Sustainability (inc. Community, VOs, etc.). Applicants are invited to complete the CSR Funding Request Form available on the Bank’s website by not later than 15 October 2023. An evaluation panel will assess the submitted proposals, with decisions communicated to applicants by 30 November 2023.
Liana DeBattista, Chief Strategy Officer at APS Bank commented: “We decided to open up the call for funding applications to make sure that it reaches the widest spectrum of public possible, mindful that many good projects may remain hidden without such encouragement. This is our way of inspiring people with ideas to come forward and help us make a positive difference in the community with impactful projects and events for 2024.”
