Community Support
Our Community Commitment
Helping you and our community grow is what we’re all about. Whether it's saving for college or supporting local causes, we’re here with tools and resources that truly make a difference.
Financial Empowerment for Our Community
We believe a thriving community starts with financial confidence. Our goal is to empower everyone with the tools to make informed financial decisions and close opportunity gaps. That’s why we created our Financial Wellness Center - a free resource available to all.
We also make it easy for local organizations to share financial tips and tools with their teams. From budgeting guides to workshops, our free, co-branded resources help everyone make smarter money choices.
Investing in Education, Investing in You
We’re here to help you reach your financial goals and those of your loved ones, too! Our Tuition Rewards Program through Sage Scholars is a benefit available to our customers, designed to help you save for a family member’s or loved one’s education. Through this program, you can earn points toward tuition discounts at participating colleges and universities.
Requesting a Donation
We support projects that make a real difference in our communities.
To be considered, all applicants must complete our contribution request form. This helps us understand how your mission aligns with our goals and the impact your organization is making. Tell us about your work, your mission, and how we can be part of your story.
