Can employee contributions to community organizations for benefit of LTM individuals be included under CRA service? Empoyees, on their employers time raise funds in various different ways

Contributions of time, service, skills, etc. of bank employees on employer time - most likely yes

Contributions of employee's money - no

As per my recent conversation with an FDIC examiner, you may receive community developement service credit for these types of services but it must be documented in writing by someone in management from the organization you are helping.

Always remember when taking CRA Investment credit, YOU (the bank) must own the money you invest to take credit for the investment. You can't take credit for employees funds (including their contributions to United Way). It's their investment, not yours

You can of course take credit for the service if you document it appropriately and it takes place with the bank's blessing. (Don't try to take credit for weekend work done by a teller at her son's title one school).
