The Open Stewardship Program
"Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops"
-Proverbs 3:9
Purpose and Objectives
The Board of Directors ("Board") and Senior Management of Open Bank are committed
to the Stewardship Program and will evidence a commitment by donating ten percent
of the Bank's profits to civic, non-profit, and Christian organizations each year.
The Board and Management of the Bank are so deeply committed to this concept, that
the Stewardship Program will be incorporated into our annual budget.
Our commitment means that we will actively support local civic organizations, schools,
and public services, in order to help insure the continuation and growth of quality
services in the communities we serve. This includes support for Christian organizations
that provide education, help the needy, medical care, rehabilitation, food for the
hungry, and other worthy services.
Stewardship Program
Requests for the Program will be received at the end of each year and are reviewed
by the members of the Stewardship Committee for distributions the following year.
Although rewarding, this is a difficult task which requires prayerful consideration.
There are so many organizations in need, and it is not possible to support all of
the requests. Careful considerations will be made and we pledge to do our utmost
to distribute resources judiciously and fairly.
