COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

This explains our continued support for communities where we live and work. In 2001, we partnered with Non-Governmental Organizations and charity organizations that share our core values to bring much needed positive change to our host communities.

Our Red Ribbon Initiative supports people living with autism in Bahamas. Our Nominate-a—Champ rewards remarkable public workers. Our Maternal and Child Healthcare Initiative supports pregnant and nursing women with HIV and sick children. Through our Staff Charity Initiative,  different bank branches directly impact their host communities through specific projects.
