Partner Organizations

Common Good Bank communities are a project of many partner organizations, led by Society to Benefit Everyone. Each of the partners helps to move the project forward in some substantial way: funding, publicity, oversight, technical assistance and/or active planned participation in the Common Good Bank model at the local level, once the Common Good Bank opens.
