The Foundation's grant program focuses on aiding organizations that deliver programs and services to those facing financial hardship. It prioritizes initiatives within or serving the Foundation's market area, emphasizing affordable housing, economic development, financial education, life skills, and vocational training. The grants support innovation and sustainable solutions for community issues. Notably, the program includes annual college scholarships and donations to social service agencies, including food banks, in each primary branch town of the Bank, reaffirming its dedication to education and immediate social service needs. Since 2005, over $650,000 in grants have been distributed to a range of educational and charitable organizations.
