The impact of this grand and proactive initiative is described best by our proud nonprofit affiliates who expressed their overwhelming gratitude using the words inspiration, goodness, energy, generosity, opportunity and partnership and is epitomized by these messages of appreciation from a few of our nonprofit affiliate leaders:

“Leaders like Ed Satell are listening to us and are doing everything that they can to help non-profits in this difficult time. Working together we will make it through this crisis.”
– Paul Kappel, CEO, Junior Achievement

“We are so very grateful for Ed’s ongoing support and for the meaningful way his leadership inspires others. He is truly like yeast, always causing others to rise.”
– Claudia Stowers, CFRE, CAP, Vice President, The Museum of the American Revolution

“This is amazing.  Ed is truly one of a kind.  My team and I will certainly find a donor willing to match Ed’s huge generosity.”
– Marcus Allen, CEO, Big Brothers Big Sisters

“This is such an exciting opportunity for so many non-profits. Bank of America’s continued investment in the Philadelphia Youth Network is a true testament to the power of corporate partnership with the nonprofit sector. We were beyond thrilled to learn that the Philadelphia Youth Network would be a recipient. Bank of America’s commitment to youth employment is amplified by this generous act. Their investment in my leadership enables PYN to grow as an anchor non-profit in Philadelphia.”
– Chekemma Townsend, CEO, Philadelphia Youth Network

So many Members were inspired to choose to contribute considerably more than their match to the Nonprofit Affiliate of their choice!  Almost $3,000,000 in funds went to more than 70 Nonprofit Affiliates!
