Giving back to the communities we serve. We’re making a difference by investing in non-profits.
The mission of Bank of the West's Charitable Investments Program is to help meet the needs of the communities we serve by supporting nonprofit organizations dedicated to improving quality of life, particularly for low- and moderate-income individuals and communities.
Investment requests are granted based on the nonprofit organization's ability to meet the Bank's charitable giving criteria, as well as availability of charitable funds. Although there are more deserving charitable organizations in all of our communities than the Bank is able to support, the Charitable Investments Program makes every effort to assist as many qualifying nonprofit organizations as possible.
