Involved for Business
Means Supporting Communities
Western Alliance people are passionate about improving the quality of life in our local communities. We support affordable housing, education, job creation, workforce development, arts and culture, and so much more.
The bank’s concentrated efforts in small business lending create opportunity that adds economic vitality at every level. And we always dedicate resources, time and talent to high-impact community service organizations that help low- to moderate-income individuals.
2018 By the Numbers
Corporate Philanthropy Award for Community Impact
The bank’s wide-ranging commitment to giving back to its communities earned the prestigious 2018 Corporate Philanthropy Award from the Phoenix Business Journal. The publication honored Alliance Bank of Arizona and Western Alliance for creating positive impacts across Arizona. In just one measure of our engagement, bankers hold leadership positions in 106 charitable and business organizations statewide.
Green Our Planet
Bank of Nevada teamed with the Green Our Planet conservation organization to bring nutrition, health and business skills to Title I schools in Las Vegas. As part of this “groundbreaking” garden program, students not only grow fresh produce to share with their families, but they also sell vegetables at a student-run farmers market, create business plans and manage money. In a first among Nevada financial institutions, Bank of Nevada earned the Community Commitment Award for Financial Education from the American Bankers Association Foundation for being part of this effective program.
Dollars and Sense
It’s just good sense for kids to understand how money works. That’s why Western Alliance devotes substantial funds and volunteer time to helping students from low- and moderate-income families learn the basics of financial literacy. In 2018, our bankers volunteered nearly 2,300 hours to this important cause that has life-long positive impacts.
