At Sandy Spring Bank, We Have a Long History of Community Involvement. We believe it's not enough to serve a community?you have to be an integral contributor to the community's growth and spirit. Since its founding more than 140 years ago, Sandy Spring Bank has been an active and enthusiastic supporter of the communities we serve. From sponsoring events to raising money for charity, coordinating community celebrations to rebuilding low income homes, and setting up in-school banks to teaching kids the value of saving money, Sandy Spring Bank is committed to making the communities we serve a better place to live, work and raise a family.
