Our Ongoing Commitment
For over 45 years, Montecito Bank & Trust's local corporate philanthropy efforts remain unmatched, and we continue to increase our giving in support of our nonprofit partners. We are proud to also help our nonprofit community partners, through both corporate philanthropy and extensive experience as trustees for numerous local foundations and endowments to provide investment management services for their assets.
We believe corporate philanthropy is a responsibility of every local business, big and small, and we hope our work will inspire more giving in our local communities.
