We’re proud to be part of the North Country community and even prouder of our commitment to giving back to the place we call home—and the people we call family.

There’s more than one way to serve your community. Here at Northern, we’re community caregivers; so we volunteer our time, money and talent through events, integrated programs and sponsorships.

2023 Was a Very Good—and Giving—Year!
In fact, during 2023 Northern gave back in more ways than ever:

  • Offered Banzai education to 58 North Country schools providing financial literacy curriculum to 3,700 local students.
  • Sponsored and participated in 10 Mad City Money events at local schools offering budgeting and financial education to 1,152 students.
  • $180K in local nonprofit donations and sponsorships.
  • 171 Local organizations supported.

We welcome you to join us at one of our local events or lend a helping hand to one of the amazing organizations Northern currently supports (many of which are listed below). Are you part of a nonprofit looking for Northern’s support? Review our Guidelines and complete a Community Involvement Request Form.
