The communities we serve are our passion, and it’s been that way since we opened our doors in 1902.
We love lending a hand.

We’re invested in our communities.
By lifting those in need, we help ensure that our neighbors and neighborhoods flourish. And giving back is simply the right thing to do.
Lending a Hand.
Washington Trust’s employee-led volunteers support opportunities that fill our neighbors’ unique needs. Teammates lend their time and talents in a variety of ways. They may act as board or committee members, mentors, fundraisers, educators, or any kinds of helpers. We’re proud of our employees’ impact on our communities throughout Washington, Idaho, and Oregon.
Financial education.
We believe that people make the best financial decisions when they make informed decisions. That’s why we partner with Money Management International to offer free financial education for all ages. Plus, we offer first-time homebuyer classes to help aspiring homeowners achieve their dreams.
Community development.
Low- and moderate-income communities and individuals can thrive when someone invests in them. Washington Trust lends to projects that revitalize neighborhoods, create affordable housing, and promote economic and job growth. The bank also donates to qualified organizations that specialize in vital services, such as hunger relief, education, and workforce development.
Let's partner.
