Bridgeview Bank's philosophy of community involvement defines the spirit of community banking and serves as the cornerstone for our Banking On The Community Program.

This unique program enables Bridgeview Bank and its employees the opportunity to partner with its neighbors to give back to the communities it serves. In addition to financial contributions, the bank's employees give of their time and talent by volunteering to philanthropic and other civic-related causes, as well as serving on community boards, charities, and outreach initiatives.

Some of the ways Bridgeview Bank is banking on the community include:

Children's Memorial Hospital

For more than 100 years, Children's Memorial Hospital has provided the highest quality health care to children and families throughout Chicago and the Midwest United States. Bridgeview Bank is proud of its partnership with Children's. The bank is a Platinum member of Children's prestigious Circle of Corporate Champions and has pledged a multi-year commitment to assist in the expansion of the Children's Research Center. The bank's employees also serve on leadership and fundraising boards on behalf of the hospital. For more information on Children's, please visit them at www.childrensmemorial.org.

Artists Among Us

This program was created to enable Bridgeview Bank the unique opportunity to celebrate the visual arts in many of the communities served by the bank. As part of the program, the bank partners with the neighborhood visual and functional artistic community and provides artists and artisans a chance to showcase and promote their artistic talent.
