In its most recent round of giving, the KearnyBank Foundation said on July 27 that it donated a total of $170,300 to five New Jersey-based charitable organizations.
“Our success enables us to help support those communities in which we conduct business, and we’re grateful for that,” said Kearny Bank President and Chief Executive Officer Craig Montanaro. “And it’s gratifying that our contributions are made to a range of different organizations. I believe this variety ensures that a broader range of people will ultimately benefit from the funds we share.”
