As we embark on a new year, it's the perfect time to reflect on the values that truly matter. At Banterra Bank, community banking is a fundamental part of our identity. We believe in the power of supporting our communities, and we're excited to continue this mission in 2024. In this blog, we'll shed light on our commitment to community involvement and the various ways we contribute to the well-being of the neighborhoods we serve.
Supporting Our Communities
At Banterra, we believe in giving back. Whether it's through volunteering our time, promoting charities in our branches, or making financial donations, you'll find our unwavering support for the needs within our communities and regions. We allocate a significant portion of our marketing budget to simply give back and support our communities because we understand the importance of doing so.
Empowering Local Causes
Our commitment to community support extends to providing financial assistance and volunteers to various community organizations and events across our six-state footprint. If you have a cause that could benefit from our support, we've made it easy for you to reach out to us. Simply complete our sponsorship or donation request form, bring it to your local Banterra branch, and our team will review it.
Volunteering Our Time For A Better Tomorrow
We firmly believe that making our communities better takes more than just financial donations. That's why Banterra employees dedicate their time through volunteerism to support various organizations and events that make our communities unique and vibrant.
Fostering Economic Growth
We understand that for our communities to thrive, economic development is vital. Whether we're supporting entrepreneurs, small business owners, or larger commercial developments, we're committed to driving economic growth within our communities. Recently, we supported a local magazine in our Southern Illinois region, where we are headquartered. SI Now, with NOW! Magazine, does just that – fosters economic growth. Our goal in supporting our local economy is to contribute to building stronger, more vibrant neighborhoods that benefit us all.
Supporting Charities Year-Round
We take pride in our year-round support for charities within our branches. Each month, we host fundraising or supply collection opportunities in our branches and administrative offices to support various charitable organizations. The featured charity also receives brand awareness through in-branch, website, and social network promotion.
Our charities for the year included Special Olympics, Wounded Warrior Project, CASA/GAL, Autism Speaks, Make A Wish Foundation, World Wildlife Fund, The American Legion, American Cancer Society, The Salvation Army, and other local organizations. Learn more about our support for charities as well as our current featured charity here.
In the new year, we reaffirm our commitment to community banking and the values that drive us to support the regions we serve. We believe that together, we can make a real and lasting impact on the well-being of our communities. If Banterra could be your partner in 2024, contact us.
