Fremont Bank

At Fremont Bank, giving back isn't just a goal—it’s part of our company mission. This holiday season, the Fremont Bank Foundation is providing Holiday Grants to support local food programs that feed our neighbors in need. The demand for nutritious meals grows during the winter months, and this year, we're stepping up to fill the gap for families across the Bay Area. Our clients make these grants possible. Every deposit made at Fremont Bank contributes directly to these initiatives, creating real, tangible support in the communities where we live and work. Explore the interactive map to see the local organizations in your area that received Holiday Grants this year, and consider getting involved by volunteering. https://bit.ly/413k8HF Powered by Fremont Bank, ultimately powered by you.

Thirty years ago, our founder tasked his daughter with exploring the possibility of putting together a foundation. After all, a community bank should give back to its community. And thus, the Fremont Bank Foundation was created in 1994, growing into the steadfast supporter of local people and organizations in need that it is today. Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded more than $31.8 million to Bay Area nonprofits supporting basic human needs, education, health and wellness, and more — a significant achievement reached during 2024, our 60th anniversary year. We're proud to have created a responsible legacy that's here for our neighbors in times of need. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3O5hAkP
