Umpqua Bank Launches "The Good Project" to Inspire Community Good Deeds
Umpqua Bank is launching “The Good Project,” a campaign seeking to
inspire communities to give back through simple good deeds. All community
members and customers can participate in the following ways:
THE GOOD DEED FUND - Pledge to do a good deed, big or small. For every
Good Deed pledged in an Umpqua store or through the company’s Facebook page,
Umpqua will add a $10 donation – up to $50,000 – to its Good Deed Fund. In
November Umpqua will invite the community to help decide which nonprofit groups
and schools should be a Good Deed Fund beneficiary.
COMMUNITY GOOD DEED AWARDS - Recognize those around you who are making
a meaningful difference in their communities! Nominate them for the Awards via
Umpqua’s Facebook page from October 1-14, and join Umpqua in celebrating these
unique individuals. 12 finalists will be announced on October 16, with voting
throughout the month. Four winners, one in each of the states Umpqua operates –
Oregon, Washington, California and Nevada – will each receive a $5,000 grant
for the organization of their choice.
