More support, less red tape.
Many companies place tight parameters around corporate giving that limit sponsorships and contributions to organization that fit within a specific category. While these narrow parameters can simplify the decision-making process, they also tie the hands of those trying to address specific needs in their community. At Columbia Bank, we empower employees to allocate the majority of sponsorship support in their community to the causes they feel are most important.
Here is a sampling of the some of the organizations we support throughout our region.
