Our Community News & Events

Strengthen our Communities

Noah Bank is proud to support and participate in efforts to strengthen and build the communities we serve in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.

• by offering financial products and services to meet the diverse needs of individuals and small business owners and providing the tools needed to grow and succeed in today’s economy
• often accomplished through partnering with organizations to offer financial literacy programs, youth programs, and to support economic development and revitalization, and affordable housing projects.

Noah Bank has supported COVID-19 recovery efforts in our market and intends to continue to expand the current SBA small business lending platform to reach LMI Minority communities while also expanding existing partnerships and building new alliances with local non-profit organizations, including Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI’s), Community Development Corporations (CDC’s), and Community Development Entities (CDE’s).

Community Development Banking

Seeking more opportunities to collaborate within our communities
One example of expanding outreach in the community through collaboration is our micro-lending partnerships. Our partners are able to couple financing with their robust technical assistance programs offered to a range of businesses. Noah Bank’s participation with community and small business loan organizations complements what these organizations are currently processing and allows them to leverage the additional resources to lend larger dollar amounts. This increased lending capacity invigorates and stimulates economic growth and grows the critical labor market, thus speeding COVID-19 recovery in our market.

Invest in our Communities

Noah Bank recognizes the importance of dedicating time and resources to worthy causes.

Noah’s commitment to supporting local communities extends to making contributions that align with our mission. Therefore, when determining which charitable organizations to support, those we believe will have the greatest impact will be pursued.

The Bank’s charitable donations support a variety of community services including:

• providing food, vitamins and clothing for the homeless,
• serving senior citizens by providing services and programs to meet their physical, social and spiritual needs,
• supporting organizations that provide resources for young adults to promote leadership skills and instill community values,
• contributing to a scholarship program for the low income students attending a career prep‐school school.

Investment

Noah Bank invested more than $6,000,000 in affordable housing in low- to moderate-income census tracts within the NY, NJ and PA markets and also invested in a CDFI Bank to support small businesses and consumer lending focused on underserved neighborhoods in low-income communities.
