Giving Back to Our Communities
Our Giving Back Program reflects our commitment to fostering generosity and engagement by partnering with communities and nonprofits. Our support goes beyond financial contributions—our associates roll up their sleeves and volunteer their time, supported by our corporate PTO Match program, which offers extra paid time off for volunteer work. Together, we create “GRAND” moments and inspire meaningful change. #grandbankgivingback
