Community Dividends®
Community Dividends® is a unique Montecito Bank &
Trust program that since 2003 annually awards $1 million dollars to over 100 nonprofits
with missions focused on social services, the arts, education, and medical and health
services in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. This special gifting program occurs
at Thanksgiving time when many nonprofits face a budget shortfall. Nonprofits must
be 501(c)(3) designated organizations to qualify for an award. One individual from
each recipient nonprofit organization is invited to a fun filled luncheon, giving
these hard working individuals a chance to be together and receive their organization’s
award. It is truly one of the most special days of the year for Montecito Bank &
Trust associates.
Community Dividends applications are posted on our website in the summer.
