Building our Community Legacy

Each one of us at Baker Boyer is deeply committed to the communities we serve. Professionally, that means we do our best to create solutions uniquely tailored for our clients. Personally, that means we volunteer our time, lend our expertise, and donate funds to the organizations, programs, and events that make our community strong and vibrant.

Contributions and Sponsorships

As a bank, Baker Boyer supports hundreds of organizations each year through co ntributions and sponsorships. Some of these are long-term relationships with organizations and events like Frontier Days in Walla Walla, the Trios Foundation scholarships in Kennewick, and the Yakima Town Hall speaker series. We support dozens of school and youth teams and clubs. And our employees make personal contributions through our annual United Way campaign, supported by corporate matching gifts.
