NASSAU, The Bahamas – RF Bank & Trust has joined the Bahamas National Trust (BNT) as a Corporate Affiliate Partner, reaffirming its commitment to sustainability, stewardship, and ecological leadership. As one of the first partners under BNT’s newly restructured Corporate Partnership Programme, RF’s sponsorship sends a powerful message: that corporate entities have an important role to play in supporting the sustainable development of The Bahamas.
Through this partnership, RF Bank & Trust will contribute to the Bahamas National Trust’s ongoing efforts to manage and protect The Bahamas’ national parks—supporting environmental stewardship, education, and community engagement across our network of 33 parks.
“Our corporate partnership with RF will help protect the very resources that sustain us: our national parks, pristine waters, unique ecosystems, and the natural jewels that make The Bahamas unlike anywhere else,” said Alexis Hanna, Corporate Donor Relations Officer at BNT. “Conservation is more than preserving beauty. It’s safeguarding our way of life and the future of our communities. We are grateful for RF’s leadership and commitment to protecting what matters most.”
As a Corporate Affiliate Partner, RF Bank & Trust joins a growing movement of businesses investing in the long-term health of The Bahamas’ natural heritage. RF’s support will help BNT:
Protect fragile ecosystems such as coral reefs, mangroves, and wetlands vital to climate resilience and fisheries.
Preserve cultural and historical heritage sites for future generations.
Deliver environmental education to thousands of Bahamian students each year.
Enhance visitor experiences across national parks, strengthening the tourism economy.
“RF Bank & Trust is no stranger to stewardship,” said Ethan Knowles, Regional Communications Supervisor at RF Bank & Trust. “We are the leading investment bank in the Caribbean, with decades of experience managing wealth for clients from all walks of life. We take stewardship seriously—whether it’s an estate, or a wetland. We’re delighted to be a pioneering corporate partner in BNT’s new programme, and we look forward to advancing its mission of protecting the Bahamian natural environment.”
