OlyFed’s Culture of Caring Sets Record for Giving & Volunteerism

To make a difference, it takes a committed group of compassionate people willing to go the extra mile. Olympia Federal Savings (OlyFed) is full of exceptional individuals that have continued to work together through the pandemic to support small businesses, nonprofits and individuals in the community.

In fact, nothing represents that commitment to community more than the record-breaking $465,000 OlyFed donated in philanthropic gifts and sponsorships to area nonprofits this past year. In addition, the bank’s employees contributed more than 1,000 hours of service including representation on the board of directors with more than 20 local organizations and associations.

“Throughout the pandemic we have worked extraordinarily hard to serve the needs of our customers and community through the advancement of more than 110 health and human service, arts, education, environmental, housing, and youth‐focused organizations striving to improve the quality of life in the South Sound,” Ryan Betz, VP Marketing & Public Relations Manager said. “Over the last year, this team has exemplified excellence as they continued their humanitarian efforts and sought out new means of serving the community they love, even from a distance.”

OlyFed’s commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed. The bank has received a five‐star superior rating by Bauer Financial for the last 131 consecutive quarters, which equates to 33 years. “Only 1% of the nation’s banks have earned Bauer’s top rating for so long and with such consistency,” Betz explained. This speaks to the incredible innovation and integrity the organization presents at every level, which is only possible through the culture of caring they have fostered over the years.
