Wauwatosa, Wis. – 2/22/21 – The nomination period for WaterStone Bank’s 100th Anniversary Giving Campaign will conclude on Sunday, February 28. Individuals still have time to nominate their favorite nonprofit for a chance to receive a donation.

In January, WaterStone Bank announced that it will donate a total of $100,000 back into the local community this year as part of its 100 Year Anniversary Giving Campaign. The $100,000 donation will be split among five local nonprofits. The five nonprofits will be selected by the WaterStone Bank Foundation based on nominations received from the community.

Nominations should focus on nonprofits who have made a positive impact on the lives of individuals in the local community. To keep the campaign community-driven, it is encouraged that nominations be submitted on behalf of individuals involved with or supported by nonprofit organizations.

Five nonprofit finalists will be selected and announced to the public at the end of March, with a community voting period to follow in April. Individuals will be able to vote for their favorite finalist each day during the month of April, ultimately determining the final donation amounts for each finalist – first place: $30,000; second place: $25,000; third place: $20,000; fourth place: $15,000; fifth place: $10,000.
