Supporting our Communities

Peoples Bank has strong roots in the states that comprise our footprint – Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Washington D.C. and Maryland and it’s where our charitable giving is focused. In large and small communities alike, we assist organizations that are seeking to improve the quality of life for individuals and families.

Foundation contributions are given to all segments of our community to foster a lasting impact and we continue to increase our support of local programs that help low- to moderate-income individuals and families.

If your organization serves your community in the area of Human Services, Arts and Culture, Youth and Education, Economic Development or the Environment, we’d love to hear about your work.
