"All of us at Bank of Marin are proud to carry on the commitment since our founding in 1989 to be meaningfully involved in our communities. We recognize the power of volunteerism, contributing financial resources, and collaborating with other local businesses and non-profits to help make our communities better places to live and work."
Joan Capurro
Director, Community Relations
Since its inception Bank of Marin has worked hard to be a supportive part of each community we serve in Marin and southern Sonoma counties. We have strongly supported local nonprofit organizations through financial contributions and employee volunteerism and offer time away from work for employees involved in community service. Collectively our employees and board of directors contribute over 7,000 hours a year.
Considering the different needs of each community and the interest of our employees, preference is given to local schools and youth programs, the performing and visual arts, health and humanities, and environmental programs. Consideration is also given to other local programs that may raise the quality of life in the communities we serve.
