MARSHFIELD – The Forward Bank Charitable Money Market Account (CMMA) recently provided one of the largest donations to a single charity since the program launched in 2006.

To provide a consistent donation stream for our local charities on behalf of our customers, Forward Bank created the CMMA and this month over $160,000 was donated back to 278 worthwhile organizations participating in the program, including $12,057.34 to the Hannah Center.

“We are so thankful for this donation,” said Tricia Fancher, program director at the Hannah Center.  “We are in the process of adding a security system to keep our residents and children as safe as possible and the funds from this CMMA account will go a long way to making that possible.”

“2019 has been a year of milestones – we celebrated our 100 year anniversary, reached $500 million in assets and now we’ve reached over $1 million in donations through the Charitable Money Market Account program,” said Bill Sennholz, CEO/president at Forward Bank. “The donations from the CMMAs continue to grow each year because of the thoughtfulness of our customers and the relationships we’ve built in our communities.”
