Why We Give Back. Without you, there would be no ‘US’! Our long term success would NOT be possible without a vibrant community. Did you know Ulster Savings is 1 of 449 remaining mutual savings banks in the United States? In New York State, we are 1 of only 26 remaining mutual savings banks. What does that mean? Unlike big banks, mutual savings banks have no stockholders, therefore our profits stay local and are reinvested back into the community in a variety of ways
Where We Give. We support non-profit organizations in the communities we serve, with an emphasis on helping causes our employees are directly engaged with. The majority of our management team serves on local non-profit and economic development boards and employees donate their time and effort to various causes throughout the Hudson Valley.
Overall Impact. Ulster Savings is a leader in charitable giving year after year. We give back through the bank’s community donations program and our Charitable Foundation. The bank and it's foundation have donated over $15 million since the foundation's formation in 2001 in honor of the bank's 150th anniversary.
2024 Community Impact:
With deep roots in the Hudson Valley, we understand the value of caring about the communities we serve. Supporting local is at the heart of everything we do and no local community bank does it better than US. Whether it’s through monetary donations, collecting needed items, or volunteering our time.

What an incredible turnout from our branches for the iHeart Hudson Valley Book Drive! The final collection day was at the Poughkeepsie Galleria on March 22. Once all the books were gathered and organized, they were distributed to local Hudson Valley agencies. Thank you to our community for showing up and contributing to this wonderful cause.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Mid-Hudson Valley Toys for Tots. Once collected from our locations across the Hudson Valley, we were happy to see that our team and customers collected a room full of goodies to share with local children this holiday season. We appreciate your generosity.
