Washington Financial Bank formed its charitable foundation in 1994 under its formal program of corporate philanthropy. In 2016, The Washington Financial Charitable Foundation was re-established as a separate non-profit entity, solely funded by Washington Financial Bank. To date, Washington Financial Bank and The Washington Financial Charitable Foundation have re-invested millions of dollars to help our communities grow and prosper.
