About Us
Our Community
Investing in our community
Giving back to the communities where we live and work has always been one of our core values. We see the challenges our neighbors go through and strive to bring our “Yes, We Can” mindset to make an impact on those around us.
Stifel’s Banks Give Back
Stifel’s Banks, the banking and lending entities of Stifel Financial Corp., celebrate our hometown of St. Louis and work to building a stronger community by providing financial education and participating in local schools, events, and other programs where we work, live, and play. We support our associates volunteer efforts within our communities, as they work to foster financial strength, create educational and wealth building opportunities, and provide resources our community needs. Through our corporate headquarters and offices across the U.S. we focus on the local needs of each community with an emphasis on meeting the needs of the low-to-moderate income neighborhoods.
Stifel Bank’s community outreach and support initiatives are based around these core themes:
- Financial literacy and financial capabilities development
- Budgeting, entrepreneurship, and homeownership education
- Health and wellness, including cancer care and support
- Increasing homeownership and combatting homelessness
