That altruism is reflected in the organization's mission, and as a result, the FinServ Foundation has shown itself to be a bright spot in an industry which is ever evolving. We are excited to partner with the WSFS CARES Foundation to support local schools like Delaware State University and future professionals in the PA, NJ and DE area.”
