Reinvesting In Our Communities

Our Giving Mission: Murphy-Wall State Bank’s Charitable Giving Program is to help meet the needs of the communities we serve by supporting nonprofit organizations that improve overall quality of life. Our community bank also proudly sponsors events that enhances the vitality of our neighborhoods, celebrate our community’s success, and support local charities.

Murphy-Wall State Bank encourages our employees to get involved in their community; volunteer their individual talents to the cause close to their heart. As a hometown business, we recognize that we are part of the community and proud to be able to contribute to it’s growth and purposes.

Donation requests are granted based on the nonprofit organization’s ability to meet Murphy-Wall State Bank’s charitable giving criteria, as well as availability of charitable funds. Although there are many deserving charities in our communities we regret that we will not be able to help all of them for each request. If your organization does not meet the criteria for this year’s event, please review the criteria for your next event.
