Gibraltar Private Recognized by Deering Estate as the 2017 Champion Educational Partner

Gibraltar Private Bank & Trust, a boutique bank dedicated to managing, preserving and building clients’ wealth, was recognized as the 2017 Champion Educational Partner by the Deering Estate.  Last year, Gibraltar Private made a 3-year $30,000 donation to fund the ‘Gibraltar Private Bank & Trust Field Study Scholarship Program at Deering Estate.’

Thanks to the bank’s funding of the Gibraltar Private Field Study Program, over 800 students from Miami-Dade County Title 1 Schools have participated in the Field Study Program at the Deering Estate since the beginning of the 2017-18 school year.  The bank’s donation ensures that under-resourced Miami-Dade County teachers and students can participate in the Deering Estate’s award winning Environmental Education Enrichment Programs.

“We are delighted to fund this scholarship program and help introduce the Deering Estate’s award winning experiential learning to teachers and students in our community who may not otherwise be able to experience these enrichment programs,” said T.L. Brown, Senior Vice President, Dir. Growth Strategies & Client Experience at Gibraltar Private.”

The bank’s donation provides financial assistance to qualified local Miami-Dade County Title 1 Schools and underwrites the cost of registration and/or bus transportation to the Deering Estate.  Students are required to write a short reflection piece describing their experience and what they learned from the program.

“We are grateful for Gibraltar Private’s generous gift benefiting the students and teachers from our local community,” said Mary Pettit, Executive Director at Deering Estate Foundation.  “We are already seeing the impact of this contribution.”
