In an era of government cutbacks and shrinking budgets, non for profits need to be innovative in their approach to raising capital, constantly seeking out new sources of funding. Thus has theBikur Cholim Chesed Organization recently partnered with Investors Bank in a relationship that will prove to be mutually beneficial to everyone involved.

Bikur Cholim Chesed Organization/Guardians of the Sick, is devoted to easing the burden of those less fortunate in our community. Patients in need of financial assistance, dysfunctional families, disadvantaged children, the elderly and those requiring medical equipment are all helped with compassion and understanding. Through its many programs, Bikur Cholim Chesed Organization strengthens the fabric of life within our very own community.

Investors Bank, with its headquarters in New Jersey, has made tremendous inroads within the Greater New York Jewish community by providing a stellar array of services. Investors strives to provide world class customer services while operating responsibly and ethically, so that its clients, employees, and stockholders, may prosper. Its mission is to work together with the community towards a common purpose.

Investors has redefined community banking. It recognizes the distinct cultural nuances of our community both in its business practices and its communal involvement. Over time, it has branded itself as the go-to bank for large corporate and business accounts, for non profits, and even for simple consumer transactions.

These two iconic organizations, Bikur Cholim Chesed Organization and Investors, have recently developed a private-public partnership which will herald in a new era in philanthropic engagement. On Tuesday, April 23rd, a Reception will be held at the Boro Park branch of Investors Bank, 4624 13th Avenue, between 6:00 and 8:00 PM, celebrating this new partnership.

The program will feature distinguished Business, Civic, and Governmental leaders and Kevin Cummings, CEO of Investors Bank, will serve as Honored Guest. According to Avi Fishof, CEO of Bikur Cholim “We are delighted that the community will have the opportunity to join with us in acknowledging this new partnership, allowing us to enhance our mission of serving the greater Jewish community. Investors Bank has demonstrated its ability to provide for the financial and banking needs of this vibrant community, and also to remember those who are less fortunate in our midst.” Says Kevin Cummings, “Our philosophy at Investors Bank is to create a partnership with community based organizations that serve those individuals and families who require a social safety net. Just as it is our mission as a bank to focus on each individual client, so do we expect this partnership to properly assist the needy individuals in this community.”
