One of the issues faced by Evans National Bank – how to maintain a strong tradition of community charitable commitment in a cost-efficient manner – is common in the corporate world.

“We found a great fit with the Community Foundation,” said James Tilley, President/CEO.  Instead of creating a private foundation, the bank started the Evans National Bank Foundation Fund at the Community Foundation. 

“Our corporate giving fund at the Foundation means a better bottom line for us.  It’s been a real win-win for the bank and for the region.”
