Northwest Bank Launches United Way Giving Campaign
Columbus, Ohio (March 3, 2026): Northwest Bank has launched a month-long United Way Giving Campaign. United Way connects vital resources to local nonprofits that support financial stability, housing, education, and basic needs—priorities that align directly with Northwest’s values.
“Supporting the long-term wellbeing of our communities is central to who we are,” said Devin Cygnar, chief marketing and communications officer, Northwest Bank. “Partnering with United Way allows us to deliver meaningful support where it matters most—helping families build stability today and opportunity for tomorrow.”
During the month of March, all Northwest associates can donate to the United Way or any local 501(c)(3) through United Way’s online portal. Team members can make a one-time donation or take advantage of simple and convenient payroll deduction. Northwest will match associate donations, amplifying the impact.
“Partnering with Northwest Bank helps us support more families on their path to long-term stability through our Success by Third Grade movement,” said Robert Fournier, relationship manager, leadership giving, United Way of Central Ohio. “This campaign also strengthens the local nonprofits that are making a difference every day in our community.”
Together with United Way, Northwest aims to help more individuals and families build stability, resilience, and long-term opportunity. Together, we can make a lasting impact. Together, we Thrive.
