Our commitment goes beyond banking
At Columbia Bank, we show up for U.S. military service members and their families through a strong culture of giving and service.
- Charitable giving to veteran organizations supports critical services, career development and wellness programs. Since 2023, Columbia Bank has contributed more than $255,000 to organizations including Operation Code, Brigadoon Service Dogs, Workshops for Warriors and the Returning Veterans Project.
- Military Associate Resource Group connects bank employees with military ties to champion veteran-focused causes, increase veteran recruitment and build camaraderie. They also aim to enhance the lives of veterans and military members in the community.
- Local volunteer efforts engage associates in partnerships that uplift all our neighbors, including veterans and their families.
The bank also provides resources and support to help individuals grow financially and professionally into their next chapter.
- Financial relief in partnership with ForgiveCo, through which we’re helping erase $5 million in qualifying medical debt for veterans and their families, and removing barriers to credit, housing and employment. Recipients also gain access to free financial counseling and educational resources.
- Mentorship and career support provide resume help, interview prep, coaching and small business guidance.
