As a local community bank, EagleBank is all about forming and building loyal customer and community relationships.

At EagleBank, we never forget that “community” is the first word in community bank. Right from the start, we have supported hundreds of local non-profits and organizations through sponsorships and donations. Some of our most rewarding relationships have been with groups serving the homeless, those fighting cancer, and under-served children in DC’s Wards 7 and 8. EagleBank is consistently ranked near the top of Washington Business Journal’s list of Top Corporate Philanthropists for DC area’s midsize companies.
EagleBank’s support of local charities over the course of decades, has helped to further the goals of these wonderful organizations such as: The Children’s Inn at NIH, Whitman-Walker, Habitat for Humanity-Metro Maryland, Trust for the National Mall, and the Historical Society of Washington, DC, and Latin American Youth Center.
As the official bank of D.C. United, EagleBank is an eager supporter of DC SCORES which makes a meaningful impact on the lives of under-served Washington, DC, public school kids every year by fostering soccer skills and teaching writing skills via the poetic form. EagleBank became the lead sponsor of the charity’s annual fundraiser, the SCORES Cup, in 2023.
Education Initiatives
On May 7, 2015, EagleBank entered into a long-term relationship with George Mason University. It is broad-based and multi-faceted. EagleBank has been providing scholarships to students, hiring graduates and alumni, sponsoring internships, hosting speaker series, and more.
The EagleBank Employee Scholarship Program, sponsored by our Diversity Equity & Inclusion Council, is designed specifically to support the pursuit of higher education by our employees. The program provides a one-time per academic year award of up to $5,000 per employee. Award decisions are based on academic achievement, community involvement, work experience and financial need. Up to ten $5,000 scholarships are awarded each academic year to eligible employees.
A vital aspect of our platform is financial education directed to consumers by knowledgeable bankers. Our bankers are dedicated to EagleBank’s mission to provide consumer financial education, and we use many different outlets – from community partnerships, webinars, housing expos, and informational articles in the local print media.
