WaterStone Bank Foundation
Through the support of our foundation, we seek to enrich the lives of individuals and empower communities.

Helping to Strengthen the Communities We Serve
WaterStone Bank applauds the many local charitable organizations that strive each day to make people’s lives better by providing critical and much-needed support and services. We want to be a part of supporting these efforts, and proudly provide financial donations to many organizations in southeastern Wisconsin that make a difference in our communities. Our charitable giving focuses on organizations dedicated to assisting in the following areas:
Education
Support access to quality education and improve educational outcomes by providing equal opportunities to learn through scholarships and educational resources.
Women & Children
Empower and improve the well-being of vulnerable populations by addressing issues and challenges that disproportionately affect women and children, including support for initiatives that provide access to education and leadership development for women and girls.
Community Development
Strengthen the resilience of communities by addressing their unique needs and challenges, along with fostering growth in key areas, such as low-income housing, economic and business development training, civic events, and more.
Veterans Initiatives
Enhance veterans’ well-being and quality of life by providing grants that support their transition to civilian life, expand access to safe, affordable housing and strengthen the social and economic outlook of the community.
