Charitable Giving

Call us crazy, but at North Shore Bank it’s always been our belief that investing in the community meant more than just making loans and collecting deposits. Sure that’s obviously important, after all, we do have to pay the bills, but we also believe that a financial institution can and should provide more to the community. That’s why North Shore Bank has consistently supported non-profit programs that make a real difference in the community . . . that contribute to the overall betterment of the area. It is part of our make-up and what we’ve been doing since the 1800s.
