There are 225 million reasons to vote for Sanibel Captiva Community Bank.

With SanCap Bank, every dollar you deposit stays right here, working to rebuild our island community.

We don’t send your money elsewhere – we lend it out locally to help families repair their homes, small businesses reopen their doors, and our island recover from the storms that changed everything.

We have processed $225 million in loans – and counting – to residents and businesses on the islands for storm recovery and we’re committed to continue helping.

When you bank with us, you’re not just banking – you’re rebuilding, one deposit at a time.

FISH has long been a leader in providing crucial day-to-day services through our 4 pillars—food programs, island based education, senior services, and helping hands & financial assistance. But in the aftermath of Hurricanes Ian, Helene and Milton, FISH has additionally emerged a recognized disaster recovery agent—a United Way Resiliency Hub. When disasters strike, FISH can quickly pivot to provide emergency items including food, water, tarps and other vital resources while navigating and leading the ongoing and complex process of long term recovery. As a natural extension of our helping hands pillar, we continue to help neighbors face all the storms of life.

“CHR is deeply woven into the fabric of our community and provides a great service. It really is critically important to have affordable housing here on the island so that people who work here every day can also live here. People understand a community better when they’re part of it. They volunteer here, raise families here, and it really helps build that sense of place for everyone. CHR is one of the most respected organizations on the island, and we love them!”
