Looks like the banks are back in business.
Chase has announced a Community Giving program that will award $5 million to local charities — in amounts up to $1 million.
A quick check showed a couple of dozen Westport charities listed: Al’s Angels, A Better Chance, Staples Tuition Grants and the like. Anyone can add a charity, at any time.
Voting couldn’t be easier (provided you’re on Facebook). Just click here; search for your favorite charity, and vote.
The top 100 winners — of $25,000 each — will be announced December 15. Final voting (January 15-22) will produce several $1 million and $100,000 winners.
Chase will no doubt be inundated with votes. But a concerted effort by Westporters might produce a local winner or 2. It’s worth a try.
Hey, we do more difficult things every day. We drive in Westport.
