It is official. ShoreBank 2010 was a success – such a success that we have decided to keep our Friends & Family campaign going throughout 2010! And we will soon be able to reward you for telling your friends that where they bank makes a difference. Check our blog over the next month for more information. Today’s mission minute is shared by ShoreBank loan recipient Pastor Gregory J. Daggett, of Joy of Fellowship MB Church.
It was the honesty and the integrity of Sherri James, Business Development Office for small Faith-Based organizations for ShoreBank that determined the Joy of Fellowship MB Church’s decision to bank with ShoreBank. Not only did she embrace us and our dire need, but she also personally escorted us through the [multi-step] process that secured the financing for our loan. . . . thank you ShoreBank.
Thank you Pastor Daggett and Joy of Fellowship MB Church for banking with ShoreBank and for telling others that where they bank makes a difference!

I am delighted to blog that we blew away our 100 tree goal for ShoreBank 2010. But ShoreBank 2010 is still going until the end of April and everybody, from ShoreBank interns to Facebook fans, are telling their friends that where they bank makes a difference. Today, ShoreBank intern and co-founder of Sparkseed Social Innovation Competition Finalist, Moneythink, Ted Gonder, shares his ShoreBank mission minute.
I chose to intern at ShoreBank because it not only provides an opportunity to gain relevant work experience, but also more importantly, it provides an opportunity to be a part of something bigger. That’s why, when Shashin Chokshi, David Chen, and I started Moneythink, we turned to ShoreBank for our banking needs. It was a no-brainer–we’ve since found (first-hand!) that ShoreBank cares about its clients just as much, if not more than its interns, and that’s saying a lot.
Thank you Ted and Moneythink for banking with ShoreBank and for telling others that where they bank makes a difference!

ShoreBank 2010 not only continues to tell people that where they bank makes a difference, but it also has surfaced anecdotes of how we have made a difference to you. Today, Noah Temaner Jenkins, whose ShoreBank relationship stems back to her first savings account with us at age 7, is sharing her ShoreBank mission minute.
I worry a lot about what these mainstream “investment funds” are using my money for. It can be very hard to figure out. I don’t want my money – little as it may be – to support activities that conflict with my personal beliefs. For example – I don’t want to drill for oil in Alaska or invest in companies that use child labor in China. When I asked my investment counselor at another large bank about these things, he looked at me like I had a frog on my head. He tried to help, but these investment funds are too complex to sort out. I am willing to get a smaller return on my investment in exchange for a clean conscience. But at ShoreBank, I get an equivalent return – interest rates are competitive. And at ShoreBank, I know that my money is being invested conscientiously, in important local development projects and businesses. Thanks ShoreBank!
Thank you Noah for banking with ShoreBank and for telling others that where they bank makes a difference!

Guest Contributor: Bill Howard, Executive Direct, West Humboldt Park Development Council.
The ShoreBank 2010 campaign continues to thrive! But what is a campaign without an update? That is today why we are excited to share Bill Howard’s, Executive Director at West Humboldt Park Development Council, ShoreBank mission minute.
All of us at the West Humboldt Park Family & Community Development Council very much value the long relationship that our organization has established with ShoreBank. For us, the Impact Money Manager is a convenient tool that allows us to earn interest on our checking account balances while keeping all the advantages that ordinarily accrue to regular checking accounts. As if that were not good enough, we are deeply pleased to have obtained the line of credit with ShoreBank, which, along with the Impact Money Manager, gives us maximum efficiency and advantage in putting our money to work as we carry out important community development projects in the economically challenging neighborhood of West Humboldt Park.
Thank you Bill and West Humboldt Park Development Council for banking with ShoreBank and for telling others that where they bank makes a difference!
