On Giving Tuesday, Byline Bank in Chicago generously distributed $30,000 to fund philanthropic initiatives. This included a $5,000 donation to three local charities: The Cook County Health Foundation, The Kendall County Community Food Pantry and The Oak Park-River Forest Community Foundation.
Byline Bank branches also directly contributed an additional $15,000 to community nonprofits or supported charitable activities such as providing meals and purchasing winter coats for those in need.
According to Megan Biggam, EVP and head of retail banking at Byline Bank: “We believe that supporting our communities is about creating an ecosystem where both small businesses and local charities can thrive. This creates a ripple effect of hope, goodwill and economic opportunity.”
These donations are just one aspect of Byline’s commitment to enriching the community. They have also prioritized over $60 million in community development investments as well as provided more than $70 million in community development loans.
This generous act by Byline demonstrates their dedication towards making a positive impact on the communities they serve.
