Community

Where You Bank Matters

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. Ulster Savings gives back in two ways-through the bank’s community donations program and also through its Charitable Foundation.

Last year, Ulster Savings was able to donate over $619,000 to the community we love and call home. Helping community changes lives for the better. The bank and its foundation together have donated over $15 million dollars since the foundation’s formation in honor of the bank’s 150th anniversary in 2001.


Community Matters to US.

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.
 

Locust Grove Fence Painting

Recently, part of our Burnett Blvd., Poughkeepsie team volunteered with the United Way of the Dutchess Orange Region. They were joined by Lorraine Middleton at Locust Grove, across the road from their sister branch. Together they spent time painting the fence that borders the lovely grounds.

Shredding Days

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our April Shred Days! We were happy to see your smiling faces and provide this service to Ulster and Dutchess Counties. We were able to recycle tons of paper into new materials, while getting sensitive information out of local clutter piles. We appreciate Legal Shred for making it possible, and our own Facilities Department for all their help!

Partnering with Abilities First

Branch managers, Dora Visbeck from Hyde Park, and Kathy DeLano from Burnett Blvd, Pok, attended the Abilities First Community Partners Breakfast. The event celebrated Abilities First’s 60 years of service to the Hudson Valley Community for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. Ulster Savings Bank was a sponsor of this event which was held at The Grandview in Poughkeepsie.
