Our Giving Values
At City & County, giving back is at the heart of what we do. To ensure that our dollars are making the most impact in our community, our donation & sponsorship efforts are focused on three areas of giving: youth empowerment, financial education, and community wellness.
Youth Empowerment
We believe that giving back & empowering youth helps to fuel the future of our community. Whether we’re sponsoring the local high school basketball team or funding the robotics club, our donation dollars help kids get actively involved in their local community, regardless of their financial status.
Financial Education
We embrace education & empower our community to make their financial dreams a reality. We know that managing your money is more than just using a debit card. It’s learning how to use money as a tool & make money smart decisions today and for every life milestone ahead. To help improve financial literacy in our community, we proudly support financial education efforts in our community.
Community Wellness
We are committed to building a brighter future for the local communities we serve. Whether your mission is to strengthen physical or mental wellness or reduce food insecurity, City & County is proud to give back to organizations & causes who share in our vision of making our community a better place to live, work & play.
