Community Involvement

Bringing out the best in the lives we touch ... Creating Possibility. It's not just what we do but how we do it, creating a lasting legacy that matters.

Our Mission

"Bringing out the best in the lives we touch ... Creating Possibility."

We believe in creating possibility at both the individual and community level. It’s about creating a legacy that makes us proud and provides a solid foundation for the future. 

"Sunflower Bank is built on a culture of community. We believe that our communities have the ingenuity, drive and resources necessary to grow. Since we are deeply involved in our communities, we make connections that make a difference."

Mollie Carter, Executive Chairman

Everything we do as an organization should have a positive impact on the people with whom we interact. With our mission statement, we affirm our commitment to align our business with our customers, communities, and fellow employees. 

At Sunflower Bank, we embrace this statement to reflect our dedication to our customers and the communities we serve.

Whether we are helping a customer achieve their own financial aspirations by using one of our many products or services, or effecting change for an entire community by partnering with well-respected, local outreach organizations, our objective is always to make people’s lives better.   

By bringing out the best in our customers, communities and ourselves, everyone is stronger and better able to realize their full potential. When we work together, everybody wins.

Personal Experience Connects Sunflower Bank to Support Raise the Future

Sunflower Bank’s most impactful community partnerships are often rooted in personal connections. For Marc Hendrikson, a Commercial Relationship Manager with the Construction Trades Banking team in Broomfield, CO, his journey with Raise the Future (Raise) is rooted in his own experience as an adoptive parent that started well before the bank became a partner.
