Building Community Ties

As a Community Bank, Gulf Coast Bank and Trust Co. takes pride in its commitments to several economic, cultural, and civic organizations around Southeast Louisiana. Our employees live in the communities where they work and are committed to preserving our great heritage while building a stronger future for our state. We have a rich history of reinvesting in the communities where we serve.

Gulf Coast Bank believes in building a better future for our community. Our families and children are the heartbeat of our community. Throughout Southeast Louisiana we have donated money, time, and supplies to many local schools. We have worked with Charter schools such as Warren Easton to rebuild and open after Hurricane Katrina. We are also the proud local sponsor of many little league sporting teams. Our commitment to the next generation continues with donations to local colleges and support of the Young Leadership Council.

Our dedication extends to environmental causes such as Save the Wetlands campaign and the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation. At the end of 2006, with the help of our customers, we raised $75,000 needed to complete the first phase of reconstruction for the historic Lighthouse. Gulf Coast is also a committed partner to City Park and restoring the Cypress Grove along Marconi Meadows.

Throughout the years, we have also supported several local cultural groups such as St. Bernard’s own Shine Productions theatre group. We have been a supporter of Louisiana athletics, including Zephyr baseball and local college athletic associations.

Gulf Coast Bank is proud to call Louisiana home. And even prouder to be part of rebuilding a better Louisiana.
