Elephant Voices

Nonprofit • HIFS Customer since 2025
"Tired of the bureaucracy of one of the big banks we got in touch with Hingham. We truly appreciate their direct and personal service." — Petter Granli, Founder & CEO

Why They Chose Hingham

ElephantVoices is a globally recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to studying wild African elephant communication, behavior, and social structures to advocate for their protection. Founded in 2002 by Scientific Director Dr. Joyce Poole and CEO Petter Granli, the organization advances scientific understanding, informs international conservation policy, and builds digital tools like The Elephant Ethogram—a comprehensive multimedia library documenting elephant gestures, calls, and behavior.

Operating a global conservation effort from headquarters in Washington, DC to field projects in Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park requires an agile, accessible banking partner that eliminates administrative friction. Frustrated by the rigid bureaucracy and impersonal service of major commercial institutions, ElephantVoices turned to Hingham Institution for Savings in April 2025. Hingham provided the responsive, direct customer support and dependable online banking platform essential for managing international non-profit operations smoothly. By delivering seamless financial management, Hingham allows the ElephantVoices team to stay focused on ground-level field research and wildlife conservation.
