Evergreen is pleased to sponsor signature events for Southern Oregon communities to enjoy. Evergreen's 90th AnniversaryChartered in 1934, Evergreen Federal Bank was founded by a small group of community-minded citizens. The country was emerging from the Great Depression. One third of our nation’s banks had failed, wiping out the lifetime savings of many Americans. Grants Pass needed bank services. Economic recovery was dependent on families being able to buy homes, start businesses, and keep their money safe. Residents wanted a bank that would serve them locally, and 90 years ago, on February 13, that small group of citizens obtained a Mutual charter designed to do just that. Today, Evergreen has grown without losing sight of our founding member’s dream. We are proud to be Southern Oregon’s Mutual Bank, homegrown and headquartered in Grants Pass. |
