In Our Community

A commitment to doing better.

People are our purpose

We exist for one purpose: to care for our people and communities. We rise to the challenges of each new day and strive to raise the bar for everyone by doing things the right way—with care, commitment, and attention to detail. Together, we can make an impact and lift each other up, neighbors helping neighbors.

Putting our money where our mouth is

It’s not about the actual dollars, but what we’re able to do with them. The impact that we’re able to have, whether it’s helping someone get back on their feet or making sure they have enough food on the table. Here’s how we strive to make a difference, both in banking and in life.

  • We supported 246 Vermonters with
    $723K

    in 0% APY Member Emergency Loans to help with flood relief.

  • We helped members pay off
    $350K

    in debt through our partnership with GreenPath.

  • We partnered with the Vermont Foodbank to provide
    172K

    meals to people in Vermont experiencing hunger.

Building community

From Church Street to the waterfront, we’ve been an annual sponsor of Burlington’s Discover Jazz Festival since 2017. We love to support local artists and see our community come together each year around the universal language of music.

Highlight NYE Logo

Supporting local artists

The Bright Ideas Project is the idea-generating machine behind Highlight, Burlington’s citywide New Year’s Eve festival. The Bright Ideas Project garners ideas from creative people in Vermont and supports them with funding, technical assistance, and promotion.

Protecting vulnerable people

Winter is a tough time for thousands of Vermonters. Fuel Your Neighbors is a fundraising initiative that supports Capstone Community Action in their work to provide emergency food and heating assistance for vulnerable Central Vermont community members.
