WSFS Financial Corp. announced the WSFS Foundation and the WSFS Community Foundation merger to form the WSFS Cares Foundation.
The WSFS Foundation, founded in 2003, was the philanthropic arm of WSFS Financial Corporation, while the WSFS Community Foundation, previously the Beneficial Bank Foundation, was founded in 2007 and joined WSFS as part of the acquisition of Beneficial Bank.
Combining these two foundations will allow WSFS to provide even greater support to the Communities throughout the Bank’s footprint. The WSFS Cares Foundation will focus on supporting local nonprofits that provide tools for success, with its key pillars of support as follows:

The Delaware Center for Horticulture was recently awarded a $100,000 grant from Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware’s BluePrints for the Community program.
The funds will support an expansion of DCH’s Neighborhood Tree Steward Program, which initiates local, community-based efforts in Wilmington to care for the urban forest through learning, training, advocacy and action.
“Social determinants of health cover a wide array of challenges, some more top of mind than others,” said Nick Moriello, president of Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware. “The BluePrints for the Community Advisory Council is pleased to support the Delaware Center for Horticulture’s Tree Steward Program as it aims to improve physical health by way of physical landscape, that is beneficial for not just people, but our environment, as well.”
