Building Stronger Communities Together
The Citizens Bank & Trust Foundation proudly supports local organizations that strengthen our neighborhoods. We bring a neighbor's perspective to every partnership because this community isn't just where we work – it's our home too.
Our mission
We are committed to giving back to the community through supporting programs and initiatives that address local needs. In partnership with Citizens Bank & Trust, we strive to foster a culture of community service and development, contributing to a better tomorrow for everyone.
How We Help
The CBT Foundation partners with local non-profit organizations to fund programs that create lasting positive change. Whether it's supporting education initiatives, enhancing community services, or fostering local development, we're here to help turn promising ideas into reality. Our foundation provides financial support to registered 501(c)(3) organizations that share our vision of building a better tomorrow for everyone.
While our primary focus is supporting communities where Citizens Bank & Trust branches operate, we welcome applications from all non-profit organizations making meaningful impacts in their local community. We believe that strong communities are built on trust, collaboration, and shared purpose. When you partner with the Citizens Bank & Trust Foundation, you're working with people who care deeply about local progress and sustainable community development.
