The bank was created as a mission-driven community development financial institution focused on social justice, environmental sustainability, and equitable banking. According to the bank’s official history, Taylor and Steyer designed the institution around a “triple bottom line” approach emphasizing: ● People ● Planet ● Long-term financial sustainability A distinctive feature of the bank is that much of its ownership structure is tied to nonprofit entities through the Beneficial State Foundation, rather than traditional private shareholders.

HERE’S WHY TOM STEYER DESERVES OUR ENDORSEMENT!
HE’S ALWAYS BEEN ON THE SIDE OF PUBLIC ; NOT PROFIT MOTIVE!    June 2, 2026 TOM STEYER FOR GOVERNOR!
