Our active involvement in important community-based causes, projects and programs helps define Western Alliance Bank. We are committed to investing in our communities’ economic health and well-being. We believe that supporting healthy, vibrant communities is a shared responsibility.

Across our markets, we contribute to communities through grants, donations and impactful employee volunteer efforts. Our employees actively support this philosophy by volunteering their time and expertise to numerous charitable and civic organizations, serving on nonprofit boards and contributing thousands of volunteer hours annually.

We provide financial support to help our communities and provide opportunities for low- to moderate-income individuals and families. Our initiatives span from sponsoring Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) grant programs, including the Workforce Initiative Subsidy for Homeownership (WISH) down payment assistance program, to investing in community development financial institutions (CDFIs), SBA lending, financial literacy education and support for Title 1 schools.

Western Alliance Bank directs our philanthropic efforts to these focus are as:

• Affordable Housing and Homeless Services
• Small Business Support and Entrepreneurship Training
• Education and Financial Literacy
• Support for Military Veterans

Recognizing the importance of minimizing our environmental impact, Western Alliance Bank incorporates sound efficiency and sustainability practices into our operations. We seek opportunities for recycling, reuse and efficiency where feasible. We use high-efficiency electric and HVAC equipment, and encourage public transit usage to reduce emissions.

Although we do not directly control energy sourcing, we have invested in renewable energy projects through tax credit equity investments, mitigating risk and increasing value for investors. We are also committed to investing in systems and technologies to ensure compliance with environmental standards, and meet or exceed emissions and energy usage targets through our Environmental Management System (EMS).
