Donation Request Policy and Guidelines
Community Savings Bank has been a generous supporter in our 100 + year history and has
granted thousands of donation requests in an effort to further our involvement within the
community and its organizations. Donations have ranged from national organization
fundraisers such as Relay for Life to local school raffles. Because the requests are so great,
guidelines have been implemented in order to assist as many organizations as possible. If you
are interested in seeking a donation, please review the following guidelines before submitting
your request. Community Savings Bank reserves the right to handle each donation request on
a case-by-case basis.

Community Savings Bank will make every effort to process your request in a timely
manner. All organizations will be contacted regardless of approval or denial of your
request. A decision to deny a request does not imply that the applicant's program is not
needed or worthy, but simply that it does not fall within our giving guidelines, priorities,
or that funds are not available.
