The Foundation for Delaware County announces that Bryn Mawr Trust recently made a $10,000 contribution to a housing project that will help low-income vulnerable women, children and families in need of affordable housing in the city of Chester.

The project will be carried out by the Foundation and is a partnership between the Foundation for Delaware County and the Chester Housing Authority.

Bryn Mawr Trust (BMT) was the first investor to contribute to this new initiative. Four additional companies have committed funds for the project and will receive tax credits under this Special Program Priorities (SPP) project.
