NORTHEAST WISCONSIN – Horicon Bank has announced it is donating $15,000 to 15 different community causes, all dedicated to benefiting the environment.

Horicon Bank President Fred C. Schwertfeger said the contribution is made in honor of customers’ response to the bank’s recent eStatement campaign, which encouraged choosing a greener option for monthly bank statements.

“As a company committed to sustainability, we are thrilled to see our customers embrace digital statements, reducing paper waste and contributing to a healthier planet,” he said. “This initiative not only reflects our dedication to environmental stewardship but also highlights the collective effort of our community in making a positive impact.”

Schwertfeger said the 15 community causes receiving donations were chosen by bank employees of each community and range from conservation projects to educational programs on sustainability.

“Each organization plays a vital role in fostering a greener future, and we are honored to support their work with these donations,” he said.
