Why We Give Back. Without you, there would be no ‘US’! Our long term success would NOT be possible without a vibrant community. Did you know Ulster Savings is 1 of 449 remaining mutual savings banks in the United States? In New York State, we are 1 of only 26 remaining mutual savings banks. What does that mean? Unlike big banks, mutual savings banks have no stockholders, therefore our profits stay local and are reinvested back into the community in a variety of ways
Where We Give. We support non-profit organizations in the communities we serve, with an emphasis on helping causes our employees are directly engaged with. The majority of our management team serves on local non-profit and economic development boards and employees donate their time and effort to various causes throughout the Hudson Valley.
Overall Impact. Ulster Savings is a leader in charitable giving year after year. Ulster Savings gives back in two ways-through the bank’s community donations program and also through its Charitable Foundation.
Last year, Ulster Savings was able to donate over $619,000 to the community we love and call home. Helping community changes lives for the better. The bank and its foundation together have donated over $15 million dollars since the foundation’s formation in honor of the bank’s 150th anniversary in 2001.
With deep roots in the Hudson Valley, we understand the value of caring about the communities we serve. Supporting local is at the heart of everything we do and no local community bank does it better than US. Whether it’s through monetary donations, collecting needed items, or volunteering our time.

On June 16 we were pleased to welcome our community for a shredding event at our Schwenk Drive, Kingston location. Legal Shred shredded over two tons of paper! In the process, we saved over 35 trees from being cut down and helped the community we serve prevent identity theft. Thank you to everyone who joined us.

Last week, members of the Kingston Elks Lodge 550 presented 118 gift cards to the Ulster County Veteran Services Agency. The cards will be given to local veterans in need so that they can purchase essentials. Ulster Savings Bank facilitated the transaction by ordering the cards, preloading them, and donating the card holders. The members of Lodge 550 serve the needs of children and veterans in our community through charitable acts, volunteerism, and financial contributions.
