EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – American Eagle Financial Credit Union (AEFCU) has awarded a $3,000 donation the Greystoone Foundation to recognize and support its work to provide monetary assistance and free financial advice to households in need.
The donation came from American Eagle’s donor-advised fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving.
“American Eagle is guided by our mission of enriching the lives of our communities to and creating a world where financial freedom is a reality,” said AEFCU President & CEO Howard Brady. “Knowledge is the first step on that journey, and the Greystone Foundation’s mission to provide short-term financial assistance and free financial counseling to struggling individuals and families is very much aligned with our own efforts to boost financial literacy and help people gain a solid footing on the pathway to financial freedom.
“We give when and where we can make a difference, and the Greystone Foundation makes a difference every day. And Greystone’s all-volunteer team trains and helps their clients with the know-how to develop and maintain financial stability. We’re happy to support their important work,” Brady added.
The Greystone Foundation has directly helped many individuals and households through financial assistance, social services program qualification and improved financial literacy. They have assisted their clients with eviction avoidance and rental payments, utility and healthcare bills, car, tax and insurance payments and household budget rationalization.
