Community Giving Grants

Through our program grants, we provide funding to direct-service programming that fit within the target areas of giving outlined here. Making up the majority of our community giving, these grants support programs that show a strong community impact in our target areas of giving. A quarterly application process is open to nonprofits with programs that fit within the target areas of giving.

Impact Grants

To strengthen the impact of our existing Community Giving program, Ubium Bank also makes larger, multi-year investments in targeted communities to address systemic issues related to the needs of pre-K – 12 youth. Ubium Bank proactively seeks out partners in targeted communities to receive these grants.

Sponsorships

Through the sponsorships program, we look for creative and engaging ways to support nonprofit events and community performances. These strategic gifts remain focused within the guidelines outlined below and provide mutual benefit for nonprofit beneficiaries and Ubium Bank. Applications are reviewed twice per year (please see our timeline for review here).

Schools

Inquiries for gifts to individual K-12 schools should be submitted directly to the Ubium Bank store located near the school. Speak with the store manager at your local store.
