Borel Honored with National Philanthropy Day Award
San Mateo, Calif. – August, 2010
On November 5th, Borel Private Bank & Trust Company will receive the Outstanding Corporate Grant Maker Award on National Philanthropy Day from the Association of Fundraising Professionals—Golden Gate Chapter (AFP-GGC). Borel is a premier provider of private banking, investment, and trust services for individuals, businesses, and families, with a reputation built on an unwavering commitment to long-term relationship banking, building wealth for its clients, and community involvement.
The award recognizes Borel’s vigorous support of community service and the fact that every bank employee, from the CEO to the teller, regularly gives back/contributes to the community. In 2009, Borel supported over 243 nonprofit organizations through financial contributions and the active participation and involvement of its employees.
Each AFP chapter independently celebrates the spirit of giving. This year’s festive Awards Luncheon held by the Golden Gate Chapter pays tribute to those who “exemplify the best in Bay Area philanthropy,” and features Emmy-award winning journalist Jan Yanehiro.
“Borel believes in community-style relationship banking,” said John Conover, CEO of Borel Private Bank & Trust Company. “We’re committed to customer service, committed to our clients, and committed to community involvement. I am proud to accept this award on behalf of every Borel employee and executive, since each of them gives valuable time and energy to local charities and philanthropic organizations.”
At Borel, they believe if you treat people well, build a strong team, and do the right thing, success will follow. Adhering to these guiding principles, the Bank has grown to over $1.6 billion in assets and has offices in San Mateo, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Burlingame, and San Francisco.
