Community Development

Mission:

It is our mission to promote economic growth through community development lending and revitalization, financial literacy programs, employee volunteer involvement in community boards and committees and the Woodforest Charitable Foundation to empower our communities to be a better place to live, work and do business.

INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITIES

Woodforest is committed to promoting economic and financial inclusion through community development lending and investment, revitalization and neighborhood stabilization, financial capability programs, and employee leadership involvement in community boards and committees.

In 2016, Woodforest increased the number of community development relationship managers by over 100%, positioning the bank to work closely with local organizations, allowing Woodforest to effectively respond to the various needs of local markets.

From July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2018, we invested $302.4 million in qualified community reinvestment opportunities and community development lending, and our employees volunteered a total of 37,934 hours in financial education.
