How is Bank of San Francisco, with its experienced team of bankers, serving the
financial and social needs of the greater Bay Area?
We are proud of our reputation as a bank that supports a wide variety of nonprofit
organizations representing the diversity and divergent needs of the San Francisco
Bay Area community. Employees volunteer for and serve on boards of organizations
that provide services such as mental health assistance, after-school programs for
children of low-income residents and training programs for low-income women entrepreneurs.
Additionally, the bank has created a well-received tradition of having our client
holiday gift be a special donation to a nonprofit organization.
We pride ourselves as the bank of choice for many nonprofits. Our diverse client
base includes one of the oldest private high schools in San Francisco, a documentary
film company, an organization that facilitates bone marrow transplants and a low-income
neighborhood coalition group.
Along with our involvement with nonprofits, we have tackled the Bay Area’s economic
challenge of affordable housing through the creation of our “Homes Within Reach”
employer-assisted housing program. We were honored by the Mayor of San Francisco
who recognized the program by proclaiming February 6, 2008 as “Bank of San Francisco
Day.”
Having spent our entire careers in the San Francisco Bay Area, it gives our team
special satisfaction knowing that we are giving back to the community that we so
cherish.
