At First National Bank, we are committed to helping our communities remain strong and successful. Not only is it the right thing to do, but our business of taking deposits and making loans places us in a unique position to positively impact a community at every level.
Our vision is to have successful communities in all the places we operate. That’s why we made a commitment in 2016 to reinvest $85 million and 100,000 volunteer hours by 2020 to help our community partners achieve the following goals:
To achieve our vision, we align our community reinvestments with organizations who are working to improve these interconnected assets of a successful community:
We create access to affordable housing by partnering with organizations that build, rehabilitate or finance affordable housing units and who offer homeownership education and foreclosure prevention services.
We revitalize distressed neighborhoods by investing in community partners who are working to bring neighborhoods back to life.
We help strengthen our local economies by investing in strategies that create and grow local businesses through training, technical assistance, education and microfinance.
We help strengthen the workforce by partnering with organizations who provide adult basic education, vocational and employability training, life skills education and youth educational programs.
We create access to cultural experiences by supporting organizations that expose individuals to the arts, cultures, humanities and athletics.
We build community cohesion by supporting organizations, events, activities and initiatives that are unique and important to our local communities.
We support positive health outcomes by partnering with organizations who create access to health care services, support the quality of life for the ill and work to cure diseases.
We engage in proactive efforts to decrease our carbon footprint and partner with community organizations that work to sustain and improve the environment.
We partner with community organizations who are dedicated to improving one or more of our eight community focus areas by providing investments in the form of donations, sponsorships, community development grants, financial education and volunteerism.
Our Community Impact Report summarizes the community investments we’ve made throughout our seven-state footprint and the outcomes that we helped our community partners to make possible.
