Making Change
A community giving initiative from MainStreet Bank
Giving back to our communities one team member at a time.
At MainStreet Bank, we put corporate giving in our employees’ hands, empowering them to follow their hearts and give where they live.
How the program works
Every one of MainStreet Bank’s full-time team members can direct $1,000 each year in community giving. The funds can go to local organizations, individuals, or families. Team members have the option to “go it alone” or band together with their colleagues to create a larger donation, and both approaches have been very popular. Once the donation is approved, the team members present it in person, creating a joyous moment of celebration and connection to the communities we are proud to serve.
