For over 127 years, Lake Shore Savings has dedicated itself to the Western New York community with a commitment to Putting People First. This commitment is driven by a promise to offer the best service and financial products that prioritize the needs and voices of the people they serve. By engaging customers, anticipating future needs, and supporting local organizations, Lake Shore Savings Bank aims to maintain its relevance and stability in the community, build trust, and foster relationships.
The Community Reinvestment Grants, offered by Lake Shore Savings, aim to support local non-profit organizations by funding vital programs and services. These grants prioritize community development and investment projects that serve low to moderate-income populations or areas. The focus is on projects with the potential for significant community impact, benefitting a large number of people, and representing innovative, efficient approaches to meeting community needs. These grants specifically seek to support projects that fill gaps left by existing services, especially for low to moderate income recipients, promote volunteerism and citizen involvement, community economic development, and financial education.
