The University of St. Francis (USF) announced it is the recipient of a $10,000 contribution by the Midland States Bank Foundation. The contribution will support projects and administration of the USF Center for Nonprofit Excellence (CNE).

“The USF CNE is impacting the people served by the nonprofits in Will County and the nonprofits, themselves, by making them stronger and better able to fulfill their own missions. We sincerely thank Midland States Bank for supporting our efforts to help these organizations focus on their mission-driven efforts,” said Maribeth Hearn, Ed.D., director of the USF Career Success Center and co-director of the USF Center for Nonprofit Excellence.

The USF CNE provides efficient and value-added professional services to Will County nonprofit organizations with limited financial resources and whose missions are aligned with the Franciscan core values of respect, integrity, service, and compassion. This allows the nonprofit organizations to focus primarily on their core mission-driven objectives in the community.

In addition to professional services, the USF CNE recently partnered with Shorewood HUGS during Women’s History Month to collect toiletry items for women at MorningStar Mission in Joliet.

“Together with our Community Impact Investment Statement, the Midland States Bank Foundation is a powerful way for us to give back to our communities,” commented Jeffrey G. Ludwig, president and CEO of Midland States Bancorp, Inc. “The funds we set aside from the bank’s profits help us put our company’s culture in action to benefit the communities we serve.”
