Investing in Our Community’s Future.
At First State Bank, we’re more than just a bank—we’re your neighbors, your partners, and your biggest supporters. We believe in building a stronger community together, and that’s why we’re deeply committed to giving back in ways that matter most.
Why We Give Back
We know that when our community thrives, we all benefit. That’s why we put a lot of energy into supporting the people, organizations, and causes that help make our neighborhoods great. Whether it’s through scholarships, donations, volunteering, or partnering with local nonprofits, our goal is to make a positive impact and help create lasting change.
How We Support the Community
- Scholarship Program - We invite local high school graduates who are planning to pursue their post-secondary education to apply for one of our ten (10) $1,000 scholarships.
- Donations and Sponsorships - We proudly provide funding to local organizations, schools, and charities that focus on things like education, healthcare, housing, and economic development.
- Volunteering - Our team is passionate about giving their time to causes they care about. We encourage employees to volunteer during work hours and even organize volunteer days to lend a hand in the community.
- Local Events - From sponsoring charity events to supporting local festivals, we’re excited to be part of what makes our communities unique. We love partnering with organizations that bring people together and celebrate our local culture.
We truly believe that change happens when we come together. That’s why we work hand-in-hand with local organizations and businesses to create lasting, positive change. If you’re involved in a community project or nonprofit, we’d love to hear from you and explore ways we can support your efforts.
