Where We Give
We support groups and organizations in our markets with an emphasis on causes that our professionals are directly engaged with. In addition, 1st Summit Bank provides support to local community organizations in the following categories:
The Arts
The Bank regularly supports organizations like the Johnstown Symphony Orchestra, Community Arts Center of Cambria County, Bottleworks, and Gallery on Gazebo. We believe that the arts are extremely important to the fabric of a community.

Supporting the children in our communities is of the utmost importance. One of our favorite yearly events is the Needy Children’s Shopping Tour, taking children shopping for warm clothes every winter. We also support local Community Action Partnership organizations, Westmont Family Counseling Ministries, and many more.

We donate and participate in events for organizations like the American Heart Association, Alzheimer’s Association, and Second Chance Fundraising. Our employees have also spent time and resources raising money for local healthcare centers like the Joyce Murtha Breast Cancer Center.
