What started out as an effort to help a few local children’s charities in 1996 has blossomed into a full-fledged annual fundraising event that has been gaining momentum in each of the last 20 years. Since that first golf outing in 1996, when the Bank made a small donation to the Licking County 4H Horse Council to last year when six local charities selected by the Bank collected a total of $30,000, Heartland has made benevolent donations of almost $449,000. Former recipients of funds from the Charity Golf Classic include Big Brother & Sisters of Central Ohio, Ronald McDonald House, March of Dimes, the Buckeye Ranch Foundation and Junior Achievement, among many others.

After several exciting months of researching and planning, Heartland Bank is delighted to announce the launch of our new website, Heartland.Bank.   In order to better protect and serve you, this new site provides a domain extension that allows Heartland Bank to forge a more trusted, verified, secure and easily identifiable internet position to manage your banking business.
