At Community Bank, we believe in fostering a community where everyone feels valued and respected. Celebrating Pride Month is essential to us in promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion. By supporting the third annual Adirondack North Country Tri-Lakes Pride Celebration in Saranac Lake, Malone, and Plattsburgh NY, we stand with the LGBTQ+ community in advocating for acceptance and equal rights. Our sponsorship is a testament to our commitment to creating a welcoming environment for all and ensuring that every voice is heard and celebrated.

We recently made a $250,000 commitment to CenterState CEO Foundation for its Growth + Equity Fund, which combats market inequalities and promotes diversity and inclusion among entrepreneurs, ranging from high-tech startups to those led by underrepresented founders. Our $250,000 commitment will provide flexible and patient capital to empower innovators, entrepreneurs, and business owners from historically marginalized backgrounds, including people of color, women, veterans, new Americans, and those with low to moderate incomes. Entrepreneurs engaged with CenterState CEO and its partners gain access to the Growth + Equity Fund through small business development programs, receiving strategic planning, customized technical assistance, network access, B2B services, and essential support to overcome barriers to capital access. This inclusive initiative is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs achieve their business goals, having already helped five entrepreneurs of color, including three women, secure nearly $285,000 in grants or loans during its pilot phase.

"In our journey toward fostering our culture and diversity we recognize that it's not just about acknowledging differences—it's about actively embracing them. Just as a seed requires nurturing hands to grow, our commitment to inclusion requires a constant collective effort. It's about ensuring that every individual feels heard, seen, and valued. This mission extends beyond our office walls—it extends into the communities we serve. By embedding our diversity principles into both our financial practices and community engagement, we not only enrich our organizational culture but also empower the societies we touch." —President and CEO Dimitar Karaivanov
