Community Giving

Heritage Bank was founded in 1927 with the belief that when banks and neighbors work together, great communities grow stronger. We invest significant time and resources towards creating hope and opportunities in the areas we serve, because we believe that beyond helping individuals and businesses achieve their financial dreams, we can also help build strong and vibrant communities.

Affordable Housing

In the Pacific Northwest region, affordable housing is a focused concern. In markets with high job growth like the greater Puget Sound and Portland areas, financing for affordable housing developments (for low- to moderate-income and previously homeless individuals) can take three to five years for developers.
It is important for vibrant communities to have affordable housing for all income levels and a bank that can structure affordable housing transactions quickly and locally. Since 2015, Heritage Bank has invested more than $240 million in affordable housing and provided more than $420 million in financing for affordable housing projects.
