How do you support community service work by your employees? Our 2021 philanthropic efforts resulted in over $1.2 million awarded to over 350 nonprofits. Organizations in every county of Rhode Island benefited from the giving effort, with areas of impact focused on basic human needs, children and families, education, economic security, healthy living, arts and culture, and the environment. All told, BankNewport has awarded $7 million in grants, sponsorships and donations to a wide range of nonprofits over the past 11 years to help strengthen and enrich lives and communities throughout the state. It’s what we love the most about our jobs.
Do you have a preference for promoting existing staff or hiring from outside and why? We understand the importance of offering our employees career development opportunities and strive to promote from within whenever the opportunity arises. Managers are also encouraged to speak to employees about their career aspirations and help guide employees in their career development, preparing them for any open positions that may open.
