BANK KUDOS CELTIC BANK Celtic Bank works hard to meet community members where they are through its CRA program. Women of the World is an organization serving refugee and forcibly displaced women in the Salt Lake Valley. They asked for the bank’s help in creating basic financial education in a format that is friendly to women from multiple countries and several translators operating in the same room. Together, we created classes that used simple pictures and group discussions to teach basic financial concepts. The bank also provided small financial incentives to complete a personal budget, understand and track credit scores, and save money for the future. The students requested more classes, and our employees loved participating! We look forward to helping Women of the World do more amazing work on behalf of their important clients. KEYBANK To celebrate 200 years of KeyBank’s service to communities across the nation, the KeyBank Foundation recently awarded a $200,000 philanthropic grant to the Community Development Corporation of Utah. This is part of Key’s special bicentennial grant program designed to strengthen Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and foundations that play a critical role in advancing affordable housing and small business development. It was awarded during KeyBank’s Bicentennial Celebration in Salt Lake City, attended by KeyCorp Chairman and CEO Chris Gorman and KeyBank teammates. Community Development Corporation of Utah helps the community thrive by empowering people on their path toward financial security, housing stability and access to affordable homes. This grant funding from the KeyBank Foundation will support the Community Development Corporation of Utah’s KEYS (Knowledge, Equity & Your Success) program. “KeyBank is committed to helping our community thrive through investments that promote neighbors, education and workforce,” said Drew Yergensen, Utah market president of KeyBank. “We are not only here to serve our clients, but to invest in neighborhoods where we live and work, providing opportunities and making a difference in people’s lives.” TAB BANK TAB Bank hosted and served as the title sponsor for the 24th Annual Ogden Rescue Mission Charity Golf Tournament on Sept. 5 at Wolf Creek Resort in Eden, Utah. All proceeds support the Ogden Rescue Mission in helping individuals experiencing homelessness in Northern Utah communities receive shelter, food, clothing, hygiene, friendship and placement in living-wage jobs and affordable housing. The Ogden Rescue Mission is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 1964 to help the homeless and restore broken lives. Since 2001, the tournament has raised $570,000 for the Mission. “At TAB Bank, we are always looking to partner with meaningful organizations and programs that lift and empower individuals and families through their hard times,” said Trevor Morris, director of marketing at TAB Bank. “We’re proud to support the Ogden Rescue Mission and contribute to one of the year’s signature fundraising events.” Utah Banker 16
