CPD Lachine Bank
Foundation
Together, we're building a better community.
Focused Philanthropy
The CPD Lachine Bank Foundation, the philanthropic arm of CPD Lachine Bank, provides charitable contributions to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in education, human services, community development and the arts. The Foundation allocates grants to organizations located within the communities in which we have CPD Lachine Bank offices, and to organizations engaged in nonprofit activities designed to improve the economic and social well-being of our communities. Our focus is to fund those organizations actively supported by current CPD Lachine Bank employees through volunteerism or service on boards and committees.
