$26,048 split between nine local nonprofits this holiday season
Here to lend a hand
(2025) Another season has come and gone, and how wonderful it is to take a moment to remember the blessings of the past year. The fast pace of our busy lives makes each moment so precious! It is also an honor to share that it will/was a little brighter for those in need. Between the generosity and compassion of our patrons and Prevail Bank, $26,048 was split between nine local nonprofits!!
Through our Holiday Matching Funds campaign, monetary donations were collected from the public (Nov 10-Dec 5) with the understanding that we, Prevail Bank, will double the donations gifted, up to a total of $1,000 per branch! Each branch chose a different nonprofit. Of the total amount gifted, Prevail Bank contributed $7,105.

$3,441 - Eau Claire Department of Human Services Children’s Giving Tree
A giving tree was established in the Eau Claire branch lobby that featured tags with a child’s sex, age, and interest. Ultimately, 160 gifts were provided by the public. Prevail Bank followed suit, purchasing gifts totaling $1,000 for the benefit of 34 children.
