"Washington Trust's third quarter results reflect our success at generating solid earnings during the most challenging of economic times. We had good performances across key business lines, led by strong mortgage banking activity, increases in wealth management assets under administration, and in-market deposit growth. As we move forward, we do so cautiously, but with confidence in our team, our business model and our strong financial foundation."

- Edward O. Handy III, Chairman & CEO

The Washington Trust Company's Charitable Foundation recently awarded The Nonviolence Institute with a $10,000 grant to support their Victim Services program.

"This no strings attached donation from Washington Trust helped us when we needed it most. Unfortunately, since the pandemic took hold, there has been a big increase in violence across the country and across our state. We were able to use these funds to support the work of our Victim Services team. Thank you, Washington Trust," said The Nonviolence Institute's Interim Executive Director, Cedric Huntley.

The Nonviolence Institute's Victim Services program is on the frontlines of responding to violence situations. The funds from the grant will help the Center provide victims with counseling resources, advocate for them in the court system, connect them with appropriate compensation, and provide healthy and safe housing and the mechanisms to help them sustain that housing. In addition, the funds will help the Victim Services team continue to build a peaceful community by consoling victims of violence, sustaining members of our community who need support when violent incidents have occurred, and educating professionals who deal directly with victims and their families.
