What makes a community bank an essential ally for nonprofit leaders? In episode 327 of Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership, Alice Joyce and Carol Holland explore how genuine relationships, personal service, and community involvement distinguish their approach to nonprofit partnerships. From offering no-cost resources like boardroom space and networking events to specialized banking services designed with nonprofits in mind, they show how banks can be more than just financial institutions; they can be collaborators, connectors, and champions of community impact.

"Collaboration, connection, and community are the keys to nonprofit and banking partnerships that last."
