Donation Policy

BankOnBuffalo has been a generous supporter of our local communities and is committed to making every effort to further our involvement within the community and its organizations. Donations have ranged from national organization fundraisers such as Relay for Life to local school events. Because the requests are so great, guidelines have been implemented in order to assist as many organizations as possible. If you are interested in seeking a donation, please review the following guidelines before submitting your request at your local community office. BankOnBuffalo reserves the right to handle each donation request on a case-by-case basis.

Other Criteria
