Community Corner
Because Winning Together isn’t just a core value at Luminate Bank, but something we strive to demonstrate through our actions, we are excited to introduce the Community Corner on LumiNET, a dedicated space to support and celebrate our collective community impact.
- Submit Non-Profit Donation Requests
To bring greater clarity, consistency, and stewardship to our corporate giving, we are introducing a formal process for requesting corporate donations. Effective 1/5/2026, all requests for corporate-funded donations will be submitted through a centralized form and reviewed monthly by a volunteer committee. This process is designed to ensure thoughtful evaluation and equitable distribution of resources. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with you in supporting causes that matter to you and that meaningfully impact the communities where we live and work. - Log Volunteer Hours
We’ve set an ambitious goal of completing 1,000 volunteer hours across the company in 2026. Every hour counts and your efforts make a meaningful difference!
Please start tracking your volunteer activities for 2026 and beyond. - Order Volunteer T-Shirts
Are you volunteering and want to represent? By the end of January, you will be able to order a volunteer t-shirt through the company store. These can be expensed and Corporate will cover the cost.
We’d also love to see your photos! If you share on social media, please tag Luminate Bank, and email any photos to Announcements@goluminate.com so we can feature them in our monthly newsletter.
Giving Back
In addition to the donations made through Community Corner, Luminate Bank team members supported causes and organizations at recent events like the galas for: Esther Homes, Union Gospel Mission and Wishes and More! Click to learn more.

Get it Done - Bridget Juneau
Bridget consistently takes ownership, pushes work forward, and finds solutions rather than obstacles. When something needs to be handled, she steps in, follows through, and makes sure it is completed accurately and on time. Her sense of urgency, accountability, and willingness to go the extra mile make a real impact on our teams’ success. She sets a great example for others and can always be counted on to move things across the finish line. Were fortunate to have someone who lives this value every day. Thank you, Bridget, for all that you do.
