The mission of the United Way is to fight for the health, education and financial stability of every person in every community.

The Peoples Bank Foundation contributions focus on charitable giving in four major areas: community investment and economic development, youth and education, human services programs that improve the social needs of low- to moderate-income communities and individuals, and arts and culture.

Organizations receiving grants meet those requirements and serve the markets where Peoples Bank currently has office locations.
