Here Matters
The best way to ensure the long-term health of our bank is to help ensure the health of the communities we serve. That means more than taking deposits, providing loans, or earning the right to the next transaction. It also means serving with our time, talent, and resources.
At Synovus, we express our commitment to communities through Here Matters, our community outreach program. Here Matters builds on a century-plus legacy of service to local communities, focusing volunteer and financial contributions in three areas: economic stability and prosperity, social and human advocacy, and environmental protection and improvement.
Our team members demonstrate that Here Matters through projects and activities — and through rapid response to event-driven needs.
Corporate Donations
Each year, Synovus invests in communities as we encourage purposeful and meaningful change. As part of these efforts, we have donated more than $11 million over the past four years to organizations throughout Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and Tennessee to address critical needs in the communities we serve. Alongside our partners, we're honored to strengthen communities and help individuals reach their full potential.
