Residents in Weld County may know Bank of Colorado as a premiere choice for their personal or professional financial needs. What they might not know, however, is that Bank of Colorado is supremely devoted to providing resources - monetary, time, energy or even space - to give back to the community that has given it so much.
“For those of us who work for Bank of Colorado, community involvement is not just a suggestion - it is a conscious and purposeful choice that we continually make,” shares Kaycee Lytle, Bank of Colorado’s Market President. “We want our employees to be engaged with the community and know what is happening, how it is impacting people and how we can best respond to those needs as an organization.”
Most recently, Bank of Colorado has been gracious in providing building space to support programming for a local chapter of Partners Mentoring in Youth - a non-profit organization specializing in empowering youth to achieve their potential through mentoring and strategic partnerships.
“Through an internal connection in the Bank, we were able to discover Partners Mentor in Youth’s need for space to provide programming for their students and mentors,” shares Kaycee. “We had space on the second floor of our 20th Street location that wasn’t being utilized to its full potential, so last fall we were able to donate that space to them!”
Since its inception in 1938, Bank of Colorado has been founded on the principles of providing aid to its community and its people in a variety of ways. In addition to serving Partners Mentoring in Youth in this unique way, Bank of Colorado continues to partner with other local organizations including University of Northern Colorado, Weld Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity and more to provide time, energy and resources that strengthen its community.
“Community service is a constant reminder for all of us at Bank of Colorado that all of the hard work we do inside the building simply allows us to further support and strengthen all of the great things and the needs happening outside the building” Kaycee shares. "We are a family-owned, community focused bank that focuses on knowing ourselves, knowing the community and serving them with excellence."
