Community Giving and Volunteer Programs
Community is at the center of all that we do at First Independent Bank. It’s who we are, what we are, and why we are. First Independent Bank is committed to making an impact in our communities by primarily focusing our support efforts in the areas of Youth, Education, Health and Wellness, The Arts and Community Development.
Youth: We look for programs that support the education, health and safety of the youth in our communities.
Education: Our support is aimed at programs that foster academic achievement, as well as parent effectiveness and professional staff preparation.
Health and Wellness: We look for programs that are involved in research and education, and provide for the care, health and well being of a diverse group of individuals.
The Arts: We support community-based arts organizations that lend to the diversity and culture of our communities.
Community Development: Our contributions are made to organizations that promote wellness and stability in our community, particularly in regard to benefiting low-to-moderate income individuals.
