The 316 Purpose Partner Program

What if everyday banking could help further your mission?

Through the 316 Purpose Partner Program, churches and nonprofit organizations have an opportunity to receive additional support simply through the banking relationships of the people who believe in their mission.

It’s one more way everyday financial choices can help create lasting Kingdom and community impact.
