Webster Bank has once again been named a Top Corporate Contributor honoree by the Boston Business Journal in its annual 2023 Corporate Citizenship Awards, a recognition of the region’s top corporate charitable contributors.
The Business Journal annually publishes this list to showcase companies that promote and prioritize giving back to their communities.
“We are honored to once again be recognized by Boston Business Journal for our ongoing support of organizations that do so much to create opportunity and economic vitality in the Boston area,” said Marissa Weidner, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer at Webster.
This year, 100 companies have qualified for the distinction by reporting at least $100,000 in cash contributions to Massachusetts-based charities last year. The honorees this year include companies from such industry sectors as financial and professional services, health care, technology, retail, and professional sports.
Webster Bank, whose contributions in many instances include both the corporation and its charitable foundation, will be honored along with fellow honorees at the BBJ’s 18th Annual Corporate Citizenship Awards on Thursday, September 7 at the Seaport Hotel, 1 Seaport Lane, Boston.
“It is with honor that we present our list of the Top Charitable Contributors in Massachusetts – in 2022. Collectively, they gave $423 million in cash contributions – a true example of the business community coming together to help those in need. We are proud to celebrate these organizations who give both money and time to make Boston a stronger and better place for all.” said Boston Business Journal Market President and Publisher Carolyn Jones.
