Collective Impact Giving Campaign
We’re donating to local nonprofits and you’re helping us choose them. Mark your calendars for February 1st, 2027, as we celebrate the 5th year of our campaign.
We’re Celebrating 5 Years of Collective Impact With $2,500 Donations to Nonprofits In Your Community.
We are launching our 5th annual Collective Impact Campaign on February 1st, 2027, and you are invited to participate!
We believe in the profound change that can be achieved when we come together as a united force, driven by compassion and a shared purpose. Our Collective Impact Giving Campaign is about empowering our partner financial institutions, our employees, and our communities to work together and make a difference. Since it’s inception, we have supported 46 charities across 14 states, and will expand that reach even further through the 2027 campaign.

Our Why
At ACBB, our journey has always been defined by the belief that collective efforts can lead to profound impact. We understand the power of partnership, and we are guided by a purpose that transcends banking – it’s about being an aggregator of impact. Our Collective Impact Giving Campaign is a testament to our values and our mission: “We will create trusting partnerships with financial institutions that enhance their capabilities and empower their communities.” It embodies the very essence of what we stand for – unity, collaboration, and a shared commitment to making a positive difference.
The inspiration behind this campaign is simple yet powerful – to create a collective force for good. We believe in the incredible potential that lies within our communities, and we wanted to harness that potential to uplift and support those in need.
As part of this campaign, we asked our partner financial institutions to nominate their local charities – organizations that resonated with them, touched their hearts, and championed causes that were close to their own. ACBB employees played a crucial role in the selection process, using their unique perspectives and insights to choose deserving charities.
Our vision for this campaign is to demonstrate the profound impact that can be achieved when we come together as a collective force, driven by compassion and a shared purpose. It’s about empowering our partner financial institutions, our employees, and our communities to create lasting change.
Together, we can make our communities stronger, brighter, and more resilient. Together, we can show that when we unite for a common cause, success is sweeter.
