Community Commitment
Helping Our Communities Thrive
We work hard to lead by example when it comes to supporting our communities.
The principles of corporate social responsibility are part of everything we do -- including our people, our products and services, and our investments in our communities. From our internal governance policies to our proactive and consistent contributions -- in terms of grants, donations and volunteers -- our action and values reflect our local roots and our commitment to building thriving communities.
Strengthening Communities
Western Alliance is deeply committed to giving back to the communities where we do business, working with purpose to improve people's quality of life. Our goals include helping to build healthy communities through leadership in education, support for affordable housing, community development lending and investments, and grants and initiatives. The people of Western Alliance embrace this philosophy by dedicating their time and expertise, often in leadership roles, to a wide range of charitable and civic organizations across our markets.
Additionally, we are dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive culture. Through company-wide training, mentorship programming, management succession planning, targeted recruitment efforts, and support for our employee-led business resource groups, we maintain a high-achieving workforce that reflects the communities we serve.

Cultivating Vibrant, Healthy Communities
Western Alliance Bank is committed to the communities where we do business. In particular, we strive to help low-to-moderate income individuals become self-sufficient and low-to-moderate income geographies to become healthier and more sustainable communities.
The bank makes an impact in the community through small business lending, community development loans, financial contributions, investments and employees volunteering with non-profit organizations. In line with our goal of fostering stronger communities, we support four key efforts:
Our CRA Program is focused on creating healthy and sustainable communities by supporting the following:
- Job creation via investments in Community Development Financial Institutions
- Investments in affordable housing to create more resilient families and communities
- Educational programs that help young people build their financial knowledge, improve their skills and further their educational opportunities
- Workforce development that helps job seekers acquire or upgrade their skills so they can establish stable careers
I think it’s important to work for an organization that is locally committed and involved. Across the board, the bank supports education – from high-level policy to hands-on tutoring – and the bank is very supportive of my volunteer work with First Things First, Arizona’s early childhood initiative.
I’ve lived in the Las Vegas community for over 35 years. Volunteering gives me the opportunity to give back and make my community a better place to live and work. Western Alliance encourages all employees to get involved with nonprofits we’re passionate about and supports these organizations in many ways.
