That commitment to meeting community needs is further evidenced by the bank’s continued support of a variety of philanthropic missions, providing $445,000 in charitable support and sponsorships towards the advancement of more than 125 health and human service, arts, education, environmental, housing and youth-focused organizations striving to improve the quality of life in the South Sound. This represents contributions totaling 12% of the organization’s net income for the year.

OlyFed employees currently serve on the board of directors of more than 20 local organizations, providing leadership support and professional expertise towards the fulfillment of a variety of social and economic development-related missions.

“OlyFed’s commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed by others, as this past year the Association and our employees were recognized with several prestigious awards and honors,” Drummond said.

“Our philanthropic giving and volunteerism are just another way we live out our business plan and further put our values into action.”
