Keystone Community Bank Endowment Fund
In 1997, Keystone Community Bank was founded by a group of local individuals who desired to create a banking institution with a strong connection and commitment to the local community.
In demonstration of this commitment, Keystone Community Bank established the Keystone Community Bank Endowment Fund. Through the Keystone Community Bank Endowment Fund, Keystone supports the good work of local charitable organizations and the causes it cares about most, and has created a legacy of giving back to the Kalamazoo community––the community it calls home––that will last forever.
Keystone has partnered with the Kalamazoo Community Foundation to assist with this important work. This well-known community organization handles the administrative details of the fund and offers the assistance of its professional, experienced staff in providing information about community needs that match the charitable interests and goals of Keystone Community Bank. Because the Keystone Community Bank Endowment Fund is an Advised Fund of the Kalamazoo Community Foundation, it will be a permanent source of community capital, benefiting this and many generations to come.
