We provide year-round support to charities within our branch and company. A charity is featured for a limited time, and we host fund-raising or supply collection in our branches and administrative offices. The charity also receives brand awareness through in-branch, website and social network promotion as well as PR efforts. You can learn more about our current featured charity below.
Our Featured Charity
This Able Veteran
This Able Veteran (TAV) is dedicated to helping veterans who suffer from psychological and physical injuries as a result of their service. The program teaches trauma recovery skills and provides a specially trained service dog as a working partner. Dogs are trained to respond to signs of anxiety and nightmares, and to intervene, prompting the veteran to use the trauma recovery skills he or she has learned. To learn more about TAV, go to www.thisableveteran.org. This will be the seventh year Banterra has supported TAV through a company-wide promotion, with proceeds reaching nearly $60,000 since the beginning. Banterra sells TAV t-shirts in our branches, sponsors and volunteers at events including their annual Color Run fundraiser and provides meals and welcome baskets to veterans and dogs during their Trauma Resiliency sessions.
In addition to charities, Banterra supports universities, colleges and schools K-12 grades; civic organizations such as chambers of commerce and Rotary Clubs, food banks and pantries, as well as area hospital foundations. Below is a small sampling of the charities that Banterra supports annually:
Youth First transforms lives and improves communities by strengthening youth and families, preventing substance abuse, promoting healthy behaviors, and working with schools to maximize student success. Generous donations from Banterra have helped make our organization possible.
Banterra is a true community partner to the areas where their customers and team members reside, and we appreciate their ongoing support.
Family Service Society (FSS) has been serving as a crisis resource to the Paducah/McCracken County community since 1927. It is because of supporters like Banterra Bank that we have been able to continue this mission for over 90 years. It most certainly takes a village, and we’re honored to have Banterra Bank in our village!
The Community Partnership of Southeast Missouri maximizes resources to develop and deliver a wide range of services that improve the lives of individuals, children, and families to build strong neighborhoods. We recently partnered with Banterra to finance low income housing for our program. The personal service we received was unlike any other bank we have experienced. They are great to work with and their financing options cover a wide-array of needs.
We value our partnership with Banterra Bank, not only with the banking service that they provide to us, but with their generous support and promotion of the work that we do. They have helped raise awareness of This Able Veteran and the veteran community that we serve. To show our appreciation, we placed a Banterra patch on the vest of our service dogs that graduated in 2018.
Marshall Browning Hospital has a very good banking relationship with Banterra. They are always receptive to listening to our requests and they have been helpful in our financial improvement of the hospital. Banterra understands how important the hospital is to the Du Quoin community.
