As a Minority Depository Institution (MDI), TASI Bank works closely with community group fundraising efforts. 'We are proud of our long-standing affiliation with several organizations and to be entering a new relationship with Junior Achievement,' says vice president of marketing Alan Gaul. 'We are aware of our community responsibilities and committed to fulfilling them at the highest service levels.' TASI Bank's support spans a range of programs, from sponsoring charity golf tournaments in Northern and Southern California, including an annual outing at San Francisco's Presidio Golf Course, to underwriting events like a May 18 PBS premiere at Prubechu restaurant in San Francisco. In the first quarter of 2025, the Bank highlighted five initiatives with nonprofits to raise funds and support community programs. The recipients are: • Bhartiya Mandal Foundation (BMF) TASI Bank is a major corporate sponsor of BMF's August 4 annual charity tournament at Stonetree Golf Course in Novato. Founded in 1973, BMF supports cultural awareness and community service. Board chair Satish Patel notes, 'We have a volunteer board of 18 and no professional staff. Annually, hundreds participate in our fundraising, raising over $400,000 for organizations like the San Francisco/Marin Food Bank. TASI Bank has been a primary supporter for a decade.' The board includes many second-generation Indian Americans active in local business and community life. • Curry Senior Center For the 16th consecutive year, TASI Bank will sponsor Curry Senior Center's annual fundraising gala in San Francisco.

As a licensed nonprofit, it offers transitional housing and a supportive community based on the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Quitugua began her involvement in 2009, inspired by her father's example. 'Gracenter, entirely funded by private donations, fills a vital community need that we are proud to support,' she says.
