Lending a hand to nonprofits
Summit State Bank:
In a sector where every dollar counts,
Summit State Bank in Santa Rosa, Calif.,
has created a program that is designed
to help the nonprofit community make
the most of their money.
The $1.1 billion-asset community
bank's Nonprofit Partner Program
(NPP) is designed to help 501(c) notfor-profit
organizations by enhancing
their fundraising efforts and
maximizing earnings.
Based on the type of account the
nonprofit opens-interest bearing or
non-interest bearing-Summit State
Bank makes an annual contribution
based on the nonprofit's average
annual account balance.
Since the inception of the
program, Summit State Bank has
donated more than $3.5 million to its
nonprofit customers.
Here's how it works:
* Non-interest bearing operating
accounts earn 0.95% on the annual
average balance.
* Interest-bearing Summit savings,
money market and demand deposit
accounts earn a 0.25% contribution
on the annual average balance.
* Insured Cash Sweep (ICS)
accounts earn 0.65% if the account
is non-interest bearing or 0.15% if
the account is interest-bearing.
" We have created a nice market
in serving the nonprofit community
through our NPP, " says Brian Reed, the
community bank's president and CEO.
" We have developed longstanding
relationships with many of our nonprofit
customers, and we also encourage our
employees to give back. "
In 2022, Summit State Bank
employees logged more than 1,120
community service hours, and 15 bank
officers and employees served on
nonprofit boards or committees.
Award-winning service
To further deepen relationships with its
existing nonprofit customers, Summit
State Bank launched the North Bay
Nonprofit Event (NBNE) in 2020, a
half-day event that provides education,
resources, support and fellowship with
keynote speakers that present on a
variety of topics.
In 2023, the community bank
opened the event to the public and
added an award component where the
community nominated their favorite
nonprofit based on a set of criteria. The
winner received a trophy along with a
$5,000 donation.
" One of the themes we heard at
the NBNE was how the decrease
in volunteers during the pandemic
significantly impacted them and has
not rebounded fully, " notes Reed. " My
suggestion would be to volunteer,
attend their fundraisers, serve on
a committee or board or sponsor
resources or programs that assist in
their success. "
