Our Community

Since our inception in 1994, we have been deeply committed to building relationships and making a difference in our local communities. Investing in people, neighborhoods and local businesses is part of our mission. We strive to understand their needs and how we can help them attain their goals and improve the quality of lives throughout the greater Bay Area. We are extremely grateful for the efforts of so many local nonprofit organizations and are proud of our long-standing history of supporting these organizations. Our goal is to have a positive impact on the communities we serve. We focus our philanthropic giving on initiatives that promote community and economic development, affordable housing, asset building, financial education, and youth programs, as well as those that support human service organizations with programs that assist low and moderate income or minority individuals.
