Grants that Grow Our Community

Supporting the nonprofit organizations that serve our communities.

The Community Savings Bank Foundation

The mission of the Community Savings Bank Foundation is to support charitable organizations operating in the communities served by the Bank. In addition to the Bank’s traditional community contributions, the Foundation has identified main areas it will emphasize in its support within our local communities.

Foundation grants are here to support and grow our communities in four primary ways:

Education: Grants to schools and other groups providing scholarships, tutoring, learning programs for local students and more.

Health & Human Services: Support for organizations delivering wellness programs, food security, family stability services and more.

Youth Programs: Funding for mentorship programs, recreational organizations, after-school programs for young people and more.

Affordable Housing: Grants for groups that expand housing programs through down payment assistance, counseling and more.

Our goal is to make the grantmaking process as smooth and easy as possible. For a complete list of our guidelines please click here.

Recently Funded Projects

Every grant puts the Bank's success back into the neighborhoods we serve. Here are the local organizations the Foundation has supported most recently.

East Fork Region Kiwanis

We had the privilege of joining East Fork Region Kiwanis in their 6th annual opening ceremony of the Bethel Field of Honor. One of four sites in Clermont County, each field features 100 flags in recognition of the brave men and women who have served our country and those who continue to serve and protect our communities as first responders.

Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar (HOBY)

We are thrilled to announce our latest CSB Foundation grant, which will fund two local students from Bethel-Tate High School to attend the upcoming Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership Seminar (HOBY)! HOBY inspires young leaders with the tools, confidence, and connections they will need to make a real difference right here in our community. Our congratulations go out to Avery Blankenship and Sasha Brandenburger as the 2027 recipients.

This funding helps hundreds of Grant Career Center students to use their vocational skills to build, repair and fix up properties across Bethel, Williamsburg, Felicity and New Richmond on their Grant Give Back Day.
